Odds, best bets and analysis for this college football matchup

San Diego State suffered an embarrassing and surprising defeat in Week 1 to the Arizona Wildcats 38-20. They recorded just 232 total yards in their defeat, while Arizona ripped the Aztecs for 461 total yards while averaging 8.5 yards per pass. They were able to bounce back last week with a dominant 38-7 victory over an overmatched Idaho State. Still, they failed to cover the spread once again, which doesn't get them much praise from me. After a horrible defensive effort in the opener, the Aztecs forced a couple of turnovers against the poor Bengals, while their offense racked up 488 total yards.'
It was a total bloodbath on the ground, with the Aztecs running the ball 43 times for an insane 380 yards, which is an average of 8.8 yards per carry. Granted, this was Idaho State, but that is still pretty ridiculous. RB Jaylon Armstead had 96 yards on just five carries, while QB Braxton Burm eister ran it himself eight times for 80 yards and a TD.'The Bengals had absolutely no answer for their ground assault. Through the air, Burmeister went 15-of-26 for 108 yards and a TD. He needed this performance badly after a disastrous Week 1 line of 5-of-10 for 51 yards, a TD, and an interception.
