\"The<\/a>
The Utah State Aggies are 11-3-1 ATS on the road since 2011<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Utah State has won 12 straight conference games dating back to the 2011 season, which happens to best a school record.\u00a0 The Aggies will be looking to bounce back from a 17-14 defeat to the USC Trojans as 6.5-point road underdogs last Saturday, but they did manage to win the statistical battle by three years in that affair.\u00a0 Junior quarterback Chuckie Keeton currently ranks tied for second in the nation along with Louisville\u2019s Teddy Bridgewater with 14 touchdown passes on the season.\u00a0 Utah State is 8-7 SU and 11-3-1 ATS on the road the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 8-7 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Aggies entered the 2013 campaign as the second-most experienced team in the nation, as they welcomed back 13 seniors and seven juniors who have started games.\u00a0 Utah State returned all five of its starters on the offensive line from a year ago, which is important to consider when making your college football picks in Week 5, as the group has combined for 130 career starts.\u00a0 On the other side of the ball, the team has limited its opponents to just 14.3 points and just 230.0 yards of total offense.<\/p>\n

San Jose State returns home after suffering back-to-back losses on the road, including a 43-24 setback to the Minnesota Golden Gophers as four-point underdogs last Saturday, while going OVER the betting total of 51.\u00a0 The Spartans are 20-14-1 all-time against the Aggies, but they\u2019ve dropped the last four games in the series, including a 49-27 defeat as 2.5-point underdogs last year.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that the squad racked up 486 yards of total offense last week, which included 439 of those yards coming through the air.\u00a0 San Jose State is 6-9 SU and 12-3 ATS as underdogs since 2011, with the UNDER going 9-6 in those 15 opportunities.<\/p>\n

The Spartans will need to protect quarterback David Fales in this matchup, as he was sacked 13 times by the Aggies in last year\u2019s meeting.\u00a0 He ranks second in the nation with a 164.85 career passer efficiency rating\u2014trailing only Oregon Ducks signal-caller Marcus Mariota in that category.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Aggies due to their 15-5-1 ATS mark in their last 21 games.<\/p>\n
