The Air Force Falcons (3-0, 1-0 MWC) and the San Jose State Spartans (1-3, 0-0) meet Friday night at Snapdragon Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s'lines around the Air Force vs. San Jose State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Air Force won its first 2 games against Robert Morris of the FCS and Sam Houston State, but it failed to cover in either of those outings. The Falcons got it right in the MWC opener last week in The Springs, posting a 39-21 win over Utah State while covering the 9.5-point number as they cashed an Over (45.5) for the first time this season.
San Jose State was doubled up 56-28 in the opener at USC in Week 0 and it lost 42-17 at Oregon State the following week. The Spartans took it out on Cal Poly of the FCS on Sept. 9, winning 59-3 to cover a 23-point number. It also covered in a narrow 21-17 road loss against a very good Toledo team last Saturday to improve to 3-1 against the spread (ATS). The Under at Toledo was the first after 3 Over results to start.
This is just the 7th meeting between these schools on the gridiron. Air Force owns a 4-2 series edge, although the Spartans won the most recent meeting Oct. 24, 2020, in San Jose with no fans in attendance due to COVID restrictions. The Spartans are 2-1 all-time at home vs. the Falcons.
