The Aggies are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 road games and 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Spartans are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Friday games and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 home games. The over is 9-3 in Aggies last 12 Friday games. The under is 7-2 in Spartans last 9 home games. The favorite is 13-5 ATS in the last 18 meetings.

The Utah State Aggies are the better team and should be favored for obvious reasons, but they’re also 3-6-1 against the spread on the road, where they lose by an average of one point. The San Jose State Spartans play their best ball at home, and this will be their last home game of the season with three seniors on the roster. Expect a motivated showing from the Spartans. I’ll take a stab with the free points.
