Northern Colorado +6.5 (-110) - Wednesday December 3rd ‘08 9:05p
The Northern Colorado Bears went into southern California and upset the San Diego State Aztecs outright on their own floor last season, and although revenge is a factor here, we still expect the Bears to take this game down to the wire at home.

Now the Aztecs are off to a 5-1 start, but they have not exactly played a killer schedule. They have two non-lined wins vs. the likes of Seattle University and UC San Diego, and they lost at home to the only quality opponent they have faced in Arizona State. We simply do not feel they deserve this much favoritism in their first true road game of the year.

Now the Bears have only played one non-lined game, and they are 2-1 against the spread vs. the main board teams that they have faced. They won outright on the road at Denver, and they lost by just two points vs. Oregon, also on the road as 17-point underdogs.

The Bears scored 105 points in their home opener, and they should be confident facing the Aztecs at home after beating them in San Diego last season.

Granted, San Diego State has motivation here, but we just do not feel they are good enough to win handily in their first true road test, so look for Northern Colorado to at the very least keep this game undecided until the final buzzer, if not upset the Aztecs for the second straight season.
