Full-Game Side BetInsiders Status: Rating: Neither offense has been overwhelmingly good in the first month of the season entering this contest. Western Michigan was routed by Michigan State and Pitt in their two defeats, getting outscored 69-26 in those contests. While San Jose State isn’t at that level of talent defensively, they did a solid job keeping Auburn in check on the road at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Now, Auburn may have some issues but the fact that San Jose State was in a one-score game in a hostile environment against an SEC opponent works in their favor. The Spartans are at home here and they should take advantage of an inconsistent Broncos team to earn the victory here. Prediction: San Jose State Spartans -6.5 Full-Game Total PickInsiders Status: Rating: Western Michigan has gone over the total in two of their three contests this season. The Broncos have combined for 48 points (at Michigan State), 67 (at Ball State) and 47 (vs. Pitt) in their games this year. Meanwhile, the totals for those games were set at the sportsbooks at 55, 51 and 46.5 points, respectively. They were an extra point away from having the Pitt game end up under the number as opposed to going over the mark. Meanwhile, San Jose State has stayed under the total in both of their games. The Spartans combined for 38 points in the game with Portland State and 40 points in the road clash at Auburn. Those games had totals of 51 and 48.5 points so they were in some low-scoring affairs. This game is another low-scoring affair, keeping this game well under the number.
