The Utah State Aggies head to The Valley to battle the Fresno State Bulldogs for a key Mountain West Conference game on Saturday night. Utah State is reeling after coming up short in an upset bid at UNLV. It had several chances to win and attain bowl eligibility, but Utah State had tremendous difficulties in the kicking game – causing the Aggies to come up short. Utah State blew a chance at a shot in the Mountain West Conference championship game, too. It needs a win at Fresno, or home to Boise State next Saturday, if it hopes to qualify for a bowl game. Utah State is winless in 5 games on the road this season, but has covered 3 times.
Fresno State is very much in the mix for a conference title spot, especially thanks to a huge win at Boise State a couple of weeks ago. It is a game back of San Diego State for the top spot, while tied with 4 other teams in a logjam for second place at 4-2 in the league. Fresno State has won and covered the past 2 games, while the under has cashed in 3 in a row and 6 of the past 6 games. The Bulldogs have leaned on defense, allowing 23 or fewer points in 6 of the past 7 games. The Aggies have cashed under in 3 of the past 4 games, too. We’ll go low on the total in this important game.
