The San Diego State Aztecs look for their third home win to get back to a .500 record. San Diego State has won 7 of its last 10 home games.

Randy’s Pick

I’m not thrilled to get behind either of these teams, especially with laying big chalk with San Diego State, but this is just showing how awful Nevada is. Winless on the season, Nevada is also 128th in scoring offense and 132nd in scoring defense. A strong argument can be made that Nevada is the worst team in college football. Nevada is also 2-4 ATS on the year and is losing by an average of 22.2 points per game, which is the worst in college football. No matter what you think of San Diego State, backing Nevada isn’t an option. I’ll lay the chalk with the Aztecs.
