PICK: I’m going to take San Diego State. The Aztecs are coming off a nice performance against a pretty decent San Jose State team. San Diego State managed 425 yards of offense (157 rushing) in that one with 23 first downs and just one turnover. It was a great defensive effort on the other side with just 223 yards and 14 first downs allowed. New Mexico doesn’t have a ton of offensive firepower, so it’s going to be tough for them to keep pace.
