San Diego State vs Arizona Prediction

In this San Diego State vs Arizona Prediction, Arizona is coming as -14.5 home favorites. Arizona has been the best team in the country, as they have been undefeated in their 10 games played, they are perfect at home and are a top-45 team in the nation both offensively and defensively. They have a +22.6 point differential this season and are 7-3 against the spread, while on the other hand, San Diego State is just 3-5-1 against the spread this season. This will be San Diego State’s first test on the road but I don’t think they will be able to keep this one close. Take Arizona and lay the points at home in this one.
