[B]San Diego State Over 5.5 Wins -165[/B]
It looks like Oregon St transfer Ryan Katz will be starting for the Aztecs but it also seems #2
Adam Dingwell will see his share of playing time, too.
This team may not win as many games as 2010 and 2011 but they don’t have to. Six is the number we are looking for.
As in any college program, this team lost some good players but have replaced them with enough talent to be competitive with a nice group of 3 and 2 star recruits coming in.
There are lots of athletes, they will be fast and have a good coaching staff.
Remember, we don’t need to see them challenge for the conference title.
Six wins takes you to the betting window.
The key is the schedule which I’ve outlined below.
Army, North Dakota and San Jose State at home, early in the season, give them a great stepping stool.
Those three teams are the key, all at home.
Going by preseason ratings, SDSU would be favored in 8 of their 12 games this year on a neutral field.
It gets better. They play five road games, seven at home. Three of those, Washington,
Nevada and Boise, would probably be losses anyway so it’s just fine they
play those on the road.
Beginning with week two they play five of six at home, are better than and should win against, Army, North Dakota, San Jose St, Hawaii
and Colorado St. Week five is at Fresno which should be a toss-up.
They also have doormat UNLV coming in later, play at home against a tough Air Force squad
and finish on the road at Wyoming, a team they can certainly beat.
Football Outsiders has them winning 6 or 7 games, outside chance at 8.
College Football News has them at 7 wins.
Blue Ribbon has them good enough to be one of the better teams in the conference and get a bowl bid.
What do I say? Just give me six wins, please
