AAA Sports 2024 Underdog Game Of The Year!
(NCAAF) Owls (KENN) vs. Spartans (SJS),
Point Spread: 19.50 | -115.00 Owls (KENN) (Away)
Result: Loss
San Jose State is 2-0 and we feel it's going to get caught "looking past" its lowly opponent to its big road game at Washington State next week. A large part of that stems from the fact that the Spartans are off an emotional upset road win over Air Force last week. That wasn't just any victory as it came against a service academy and SJ State coach Ken Niumatalolo coached at Navy for 15 years. This is still a young Spartan team with a new coaching staff. Last weekend Kennesaw State fell 34-10 to Louisiana-Lafayette, with Davis Bryson going 9 of 13 for 93 yards. We've got Louisiana ranked a lot higher than SJ State though. The Owls are an experienced team and now they have a couple of FBS games under their belts. We feel they're flying under the radar and providing great value as substantial underdog. They easily covered the spread in their first road game, at 12 point loss at UTSA. We've also got UTSA ranked a lot higher than SJ State The Spartans don't possess a potent offense and that makes covering a large number like this difficult. Should they manage to get up by a couple of scores, they may take their foot off the gas in the second half as they begin to prepare for their big contest the following week. Grab the points, the play is Kennesaw State!
