Common Opponents:

San Jose State: Navy won by 10 at home. SDSU won by 31 at home. ADVANTAGE: SDSU

Air Force: Navy lost by 9 in Colorado Springs. The Aztecs won by 16 at home. ADVANTAGE: SDSU

Prediction:

Navy has one of the best run option offenses in the country, and they can give defenses fits. That said, the only really good defense they played was Ohio State, and the Buckeyes held them to 17 points. San Diego State does not have a great defense, but they are very good. Air Force is also an option offense, and SDSU shut them down for most of the game.

San Diego State boasts one of the best running backs not in a power five conference in Donnel Pumphrey. The rushing high for bowl games so far is 162 yards by Utah’s Devontae Booker. That mark could be be broken tonight.

The Aztecs only won one road game this year, and that was at New Mexico. They won all six home games. Luckily for them, this is a home game in a bowl. If you have read me at any great length before, you know how against this I am for a bowl game. It is against what the bowls stand for.

Judging by the fact that everything on paper favors the Aztecs, and they are at home. I don’t really see any way they lose this.

Pick: San Diego State
