Ohio vs. San Diego State Predictions
San Diego State boasts a strong offense led by QB Jalen Mayden and a new coordinator, Ryan Lindley. Despite key receiver losses, they have capable replacements like Mekhi Shaw and Raphael Williams.
On defense, they’re solid in pass rush and secondary, even with some departures. Ohio, on the other hand, has an inconsistent defense and a QB returning from an ACL injury.

San Diego State ranked 20th in rushing defense last year, so they are poised to keep one of Ohio’s key players, RB Sieh Bangura in check.
While Ohio’s betting trends are strong, San Diego State is 5-1 SU in their last six home games. Given the Aztecs’ adaptability and home record, taking them at -3 is a solid pick. Their well-rounded team is poised to cover the spread against Ohio.
