Isaih Moore leads the Bulldogs in scoring and rebounding with 12.1 PPG and 7.9 RPG and Jemari Baker has 11.9 PPG as the only other double-digit scorer for Fresno State up to this point in the season.

Air Force is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a win while the under is 13-4 in their lat 17 road games against a team with a home winning percentage above .600. Fresno State is 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games and 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games overall while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games against a team with a winning record.

I like the under a lot here. This is a low total, but this is a first to 60 wins game if I’ve ever seen one. Two teams that play a defensive style at a slow, methodical pace and I wouldn’t be surprised if neither side gets to 60. Give me the under here.
