Utah State and San Jose State Facing Off in High-Scoring Matchup According to +5.5 Spread Odds

Utah State and San Jose State have faced a tough schedule; however, both teams have earned two wins against opponents of lesser quality. Utah State’s passing attack is formidable and As the Aggies face the Spartans, whose defense ranks second-to-last in the nation, they are expected to favour running the ball. Both teams have strong offensive capabilities and this matchup should be high-scoring, with lots of points and yards generated in the air and on the ground. It will be a close game with Utah State possibly covering a +5.5 spread.
