San Diego State vs Utah Prediction & Pick
The last time the Aztecs a nd Utes met was just last season, ending in a 33-31 win for SDSU. Having said that, the outcome was an anomaly in their history as Utah has won 10 of their last 13 matchups. The Utes are also 5-0 straight up against the Aztecs when the former is the only ranked team between the two.
Utah will give San Diego State more of a test than Idaho State did. Plus, the Aztecs have already faced a Pac-12 team in Week 1 – Arizona – and lost by a 38-20 final score.
At the end of the day, the Utes shouldn't break a sweat against the Aztecs, especially after racking up 73 points last week.
Final Score Prediction:'Utah: 35 | San Diego State: 24
