The under is 37-17-1 in Aztecs last 55 games overall.

The UTSA Roadrunners are one of the more balanced teams in the league, and they should be eager to prove to everybody they’re legit. UTSA didn’t get a ton of national TV time this season, and this is a spot where they’ll have an audience all to themselves. The San Diego State Aztecs completely bombed in their championship game, and you have to question just how motivated they’ll be for this game. The one weakness for UTSA is its passing defense, but the Aztecs cant throw the football, so there’s no concern there. This is also pretty much a home game for the Roadrunners, with the game being in Frisco. I’ll lay the small number.
