Joe’s Pick Against the Spread

These teams split matchups this season with SDSU losing by 1 at CSU and then destroying the Rams by 20 at home. With CSU basically relying on one player to carry them (David Roddy) and playing away from their huge home court advantage in Colorado, I like SDSU to win and cover!
