  • The San Jose State Spartans are 2.5-point road favorites over the San Diego State Aztecs in their college football game on Saturday, November 12
  • San Diego State is 8-1 straight up in the last nine games against San Jose State
  • A look at the San Jose State vs San Diego State odds, lines and picks is undertaken in the following story

On the surface, traveling to play the San Diego State Aztecs (5-4, 3-6 ATS) on the road might not seem like the best route to success for the San Jose State Spartans (6-2, 4-4 ATS). However, in this case it might be exactly what the doctor ordered.

San Jose State is 1-8 straight up in the last nine games against San Diego State. That one win, though, came in 2020, the previous time the Spartans were visiting the Aztecs.

Oddsmakers seem to agree. They are establishing San Jose State as 2.5-point road favorites. The Spartans are 4-1 against the spread in their last five road games.

Spartans vs Aztecs Betting Trends

The Spartans are drawing 90% of spread handle and 78% of spread bets. There’s also 78% of moneyline handle backing San Jose State. However, 59% of moneyline bets are going with San Diego State.

The under is seen as the play on the total. It’s grabbing 96% of total handle and 52% of total betting. Seven of the last eight games between these two schools have gone under.

San Jose State is the +900 third betting choice to win the Mountain West Conference. At +10000, San Diego State is listing fifth in this betting market. The Spartans are currently showing a 4-1 MWC record, while the Aztecs are 3-2.

Cordeiro Double Threat for San Jose State

Spartans QB1 Chevan Cordeiro can play it just about any way you’d like. The Hawaii transfer leads the MWC with  2,224 passing yards. He’s thrown for 11 touchdowns against two interceptions. As well, with his feet Cordeiro has scampered for seven TDs in eight starts.

Senior RB Kairee Robinson is right there with Cordeiro. Robinson has rushed for 441 yards and nine TDs. WR Elijah Cooks leads the Spartans in receptions (43), receiving yards (701), and touchdown catches (four). In last week’s win over Colorado State, the Spartans sacked the Rams QB nine times. Linebacker Alii Matau accounted for three of them.

 

San Diego State Taking Step Back

Winners of at least 10 games in five of the past six seasons, San Diego State is struggling to get it done in 2022. They’ve been a better home team straight up (4-1 vs 1-3) , but a better spread team on the road (2-2 vs 1-4).

Making a midseason switch at QB, head coach Brady Hoke seemingly ignited his squad. Going from Braxton Burmeister to senior Jalon Mayden, former safety Mayden has passed for 985 yards with five TDs and three interceptions. In his four starts, he also gained 110 rushing yards with three TD runs. San Diego State is the #29 scoring defense, allowing 21.33 points per game.

San Jose State vs San Diego State Prediction

A win over the  Spartans would assure that the Aztecs were bowl eligible for this season. But while San Diego State is 4-1 SU at home, the Aztecs are 1-4 ATS in those five home games. San Diego State is scoring 19.6 points per game, and is 261st in the nation in passing yardage with 145.9 yards per game.

The Spartans are 3-6 ATS in the last nine games facing the Aztecs. Four of the past five games between the two schools have gone under.

With an experienced quarterback in Cordeiro, plus a strong road resume, we like the Spartans against the spread Saturday.

Pick: San Jose State -2.5 (-110).
