Pick Against The Spread
I love Creighton Sunday! San Diego State has some nice pieces but REALLY struggles to score the ball on offense. I’ve watched numerous SDSU games this season, and their flow is incredibly poor, involving a bunch of one-on-one action and missed shots (not to mention missed free throws). My one fear is that they do defend the three-point line well. I’m still comfortable with laying -2 with Creighton, though, who beat these same Aztecs last season despite shooting only 14% from behind the arc.
