Cal Santa Barbara Gauchos vs San Diego State Aztecs Point Spread Picks

The San Diego State Aztecs are a hot commodity once again. They enter this one with a No. 15 ranking and are off to a stellar 6-1 start. They suffered an season-opening loss to Syracuse, but have rattled off six straight since, and now own an impressive 26-0 mark vs. in-state teams in their last 26. That good news only helps to stretch out the line here and the pendulum has swung in the favor of UCSB. Alan Williams led their first road win at Santa Clara with 29 points and 17 rebounds. He is a handful, and is more than capable of keeping the Gauchos from getting blown out here. The Gauchos lost by a single point to San Diego St. last year in overtime, and while the gap has widened this year, it is certainly not to the extent of the line. The Aztecs are playing to inflated spreads, and are just 1-5 ATS in their last six at home. Take the Gauchos.
