Why Bet On The San Jose State Spartans lat +29?
Why should you consider betting on San Jose State in this contest? Well…to be honest about it, there’s only one good reason and that’s the fact that they’re getting a whopping 29 points in this conference clash.
San Jose State has lost four straight including a pitiful 73-53 loss to Fresno State last Wednesday while failing to cover the chalk as a 14.5-point home underdog that day. The Spartans average a uninspiring 68.3 points per game (298th) while allowing 75.5 points per contest defensively (269th). San Jose State has lost all three of its road games this season.

Why Bet On The Nevada Wolfpack at -29?
Why should you consider betting on the 10th-ranked Wolf Pack? Well, Nevada has far more talent than San Jose State and they’re playing at home where they’ve gone 14-1 this season. Another great reason to back the Wolf Pack is because they’re coming off a stunning 85-58 loss to New Mexico on Saturday.
Nevada never came close to covering the spread as a 15-point road favorite while entering the half down a dozen points and then getting outscored by 15 points in the second half as well. The Wolf Pack average 80.4 points per game to rank 54th in scoring nationally while limiting the opposition to just 67.4 points per game defensively (82nd).
