110 San Jose St. 9.5(-110) Hilton vs 109 Utah St. triple-dime bet
Analysis:
San Jose State disappointed a lot of sharps last week losing on the road to Minnesota, 43-24.
That wasn't the time to play the Spartans, though. This is.
This is San Jose State's only home game during a five-week period. The Spartans have played at Stanford and Minnesota the past two weeks. After this game, they return to the road to face Hawaii and Colorado State.
San Jose State, with its new 3-4 defense, matches up better to pass-oriented spread offenses that many Mountain West Conference teams employ. It was not a good matchup for San Jose State playing physical, power runner teams Stanford and Minnesota. The Spartans were bothered by the size of players in the Pac-12 and Big Ten. Now they are in their element taking on a fellow Mountain West Conference team.
The Spartans will be sky high for this rare nationally televised home game. The Spartans have covered in seven of their last eight Mountain West games and are 6-2 ATS at home. They also have covered six of the past seven times off an ATS loss.
Utah State has an excellent quarterback in Chuckie Keeton. But San Jose State has a great quarterback with David Fales. He lost star wide receiver Noel Grigsby, but still has other excellent receiving options, including Chandler Jones and tight end Billy Freeman.
Utah State is traveling on a short week after playing a huge road game last Saturday against USC. The Aggies covered the spread, but fell 17-14 to the Trojans. The Aggies played their guts out in that game so having one less day to prepare and rest factors.
