Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders vs. San Diego State Aztecs Best Pick
In years gone by, we have seen plenty of shootouts at the Hawaii Bowl. It would be shocking if the 2022 version played out in the same fashion. San Diego State and Middle Tennessee State are far superior on the defensive side of the ball than the offensive side.
The Aztecs and Blue Raiders rank in the top 25 in various defensive metrics. It appears like instead of a shootout, we are getting a slugfest. Take the Under on most prop bets, but the passing yards for the Aztecs.
San Diego State, Team Passing Yards: Under
Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders vs. San Diego State Aztecs Final Prediction
If you are a defense fan, this is the Bowl game for you! San Diego State can get after you on the defensive side of the ball and the front seven for Middle Tennessee State causes havoc for the opposition. Neither of these teams is The Greatest Show on Turf in the passing department.
The issue for San Diego State is its horrendous offensive line. Middle Tennessee State should dominate in the trenches when they are on defense, keeping this game the anticipated low-scoring affair we expect. This game is more of a toss-up than it is given credit. Take Middle Tennessee State and take the points.
Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders +7 (-115) Over 48.5 (-110)
