Meanwhile, Cal Poly is 4-10-2 ATS in their last 16 Sunday games and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games. The Mustangs are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 overall.
PICK: I’m going to stick with Cal Poly, but probably staying away. The Mustangs have had a few good games so far this year, but they’ve been wildly inconsistent on the scoreboard and have been above 67 points just twice this season. As for San Diego, they’ve had their scoring troubles as well, with just 95 combined points in their last pair. This game could go a lot of different ways, but I expect it to be competitive at least. I think the Mustangs can hang around and power out the cover.
