Just pride on the line here as neither team is heading to the Mountain West Championship Game and both are already bowl eligible.

But Air Force will be motivated. Dating back to 2010, the Flyboys have lost nine straight times to San Diego State and are 2-7 ATS in those games. Most of the recent encounters have been close, however. Five of the last six have been decided by seven points or less.

San Diego State’s offense has been reborn since a change at QB. However, Jalen Mayden has committed more turnover worthy plays than he has big time throws. Let’s also be honest. Those last two games, which saw the Aztecs score a combined 77 points, were against San Jose State and New Mexico.

Over their past five games, the Air Force defense has allowed just 7, 19, 7, 3 and 12 points. That’s only 48 points total or less than 10.0 per game. On the offensive side, the triple option is the last thing San Diego State wants to see this late in the season, playing a sixth straight game with nothing on the line.

Look for the AFA offense to control the ball in this one and the Falcons to end their long losing streak to SDSU. 8*
