The San Diego State Aztecs are finding ways to win games, but they don’t do much of anything well on either side of the ball. I have a hard time believing San Diego State will keep this winning stretch for much longer. You can say similar things about the Fresno State Bulldogs, but their defense is respectable when it needs to be, and they’ve been terrific at home over the years. Fresno State is the more talented team here. I’ll lay the points.
