San Diego State at Grand Canyon picks and predictions

Prediction

Grand Canyon 72, San Diego State 68

Moneyline

PASS.

Grand Canyon is a good play here, but with both teams having struggled against quality opponents, this should be a tight game. The value is on the spread instead.

Against the spread

BET GRAND CANYON +2.5 (-110).

Grand Canyon has covered 3 of 4 games at home and does have a quality 76-72 neutral-court win over the San Francisco Dons on Nov. 17. With 6-foot-10 F Duke Brennan, it should have the size to battle with the Aztecs in the paint.

The Aztecs have failed to cover 5 of their last 6 games that featured a spread. In true road games, they are 1-1 straight up and 0-2 ATS. They beat UC San Diego by 1 despite shooting better from the field and deep in their last outing. San Diego State doesn’t have the offensive prowess to blow out the Antelopes, and it has struggled as a favorite, just 1-4 ATS.

Back GRAND CANYON +2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 143.5 (-108).

San Diego State has scored 76 or fewer in 3 straight games, and it has scored just 63 and 65 in road games. It is 5-2 O/U on the season but is 0-2 O/U in its two road games.

Grand Canyon is 4-3 O/U, but has gone Under in 2 straight games as well. It has yet to allow more than 75 points in a game this season and has yet to allow more than 71 in a home game. The Antelopes have gone Under in every total that is 145 or higher (0-3 O/U in those battles).

Take UNDER 143.5 (-108).
