San Diego State vs Air Force Prediction

I’m on the under here. I can’t trust Air Force to do much scoring here, as the Falcons are not only an inefficient offense when it comes to shooting the rock, but it’s also an offense that plays at an extremely slow pace as well. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen Air Force score 50 points or less in a game just because of how bad they are. The Aztecs on the other hand can be efficient, but one thing you can rely on regardless of the day, is that the Aztecs are going to show up and play solid defense. I think blowout or not, this is going to be a low-scoring game, so give me the under in this Mountain West clash.
