Why Bet on the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders?

Middle Tennessee fielded a balanced offense. Of the Blue Raiders 391.1 total yards per game, 267.2 came via the pass and 123.9 arrived via the rush.

Frank Peasant paced the team on the ground when rushing for 727 yards. Middle Tennessee isn’t one-dimensional on offense, and that should help the Blue Raiders versus San Diego State.

The Blue Raiders’ defense was one of the better units in Conference USA. Middle Tennessee allowed 28 points per game from 413 yards.

Jordan Ferguson sacked the quarterback 8.5 times. Decorian Patterson had 6 picks. The Blue Raiders’ D was better against the rush than the pass, holding opponents to less than 122 rushing yards per while allowing over 291 passing yards each contest.

Why Bet on the Bowling Green Falcons?

Forget stats when it comes to SDSU’s offense. It’s more important to notice the progression. Things didn’t start out great for San Diego State’s offense, but as the season continued, the O got better.

SDSU scored 28 against Fresno State in a 32-28 loss, 43 versus San Jose State in a 43-27 win, and 34 against New Mexico in a 34-10 victory.

San Diego State fielded one of the conference’s top defenses. The Aztecs’ D held opponents to 335.4 total yards.

New Mexico State vs. Bowling Green Expert Betting Predictions

Middle Tennessee State is a decent team but, at least on paper, this is a huge mismatch. San Diego State hung with teams like Air Force and Fresno State.

The Blue Raiders lost to teams like Louisiana Tech, UAB, and Texas San-Antonio. Again, those are decent football teams, but they wouldn’t be able to go toe-to-toe with a solid club like Fresno State the way SDSU did.

The real problem the Blue Raiders have is moving the football against the best defense they will face this season. San Diego State held a team like Toledo to 14 points.

Unless the Aztecs show up unprepared, they should have this in the bag. SDSU is the pick to win and cover.
