This is a 10* SUPER BLOWOUT on San Diego State.

The Aztecs are making their sixth consecutive bowl appearance, while the Bearcats have gone bowling 13 times since 2000. The Bearcats season though has been a big disappointment and we think the team will simply go through the motions today. Cincinnati was picked by many to win the AAC, but it would stumble to a 7-5 record, snapping a streak of four consecutive seasons with at least nine wins. The Bearcats posted a minus-16 turnover margin in 12 games and there were also poor defensively, giving up an average of 5.8 yards per play and 30.3 points per contest. SDSU may not have faced the quality of opponents that Cincinnati did this year, but the team can tie a school record for the most victories in a season with a win over Cincinnati today. The Aztecs started 1-3, but finished 2015 by winning nine consecutive games, including the Mountain West Championship over Air Force. SDSU RB Donnel Pumphrey rushed for 1,554 yards and 16 scores this year; he also leads the team with 27 catches. Pumphrey though is joined by a stable of competent backs, including Chase Price and Rashaad Penny. Freshman QB Christian Chapman filled in for the injured Maxwell Smith in the win over Air Force and was an efficient 9 of 14 for 203 yards. Chapman will once again only be asked to manage this game, SDSU will be attacking on the ground, an area that the Bearcats struggled in mightily this year, ranking ninth in the AAC in giving up an average of 190.8 yards per game. Also note that Cincinnati would surrender at least 200 yards on the ground in four of its last five games to end the regular season. Cincinnati is also dealing with QB issues, Gunner Kiel won't be starting because of a personal matter, leaving Hayden Moore to carry the load today; Moore is not the same caliber of QB as Kiel is, while he did have four TD's vs. Memphis, he'd also throw eight INT's on 195 attempts. And that doesn't bode well vs. this tough Aztecs defensive unit which allowed only 4.68 yards per play, gave up only 17.2 PPG overall, generated 33 sacks while also forcing 31 takeaways. The Bearcats strength on offense is its receivers, but SDSU's strength on the defensive side of the ball is against the pass, anchored by Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year Damontae Kazee. Too many question marks surrounding the Bearcats, our money is on the more complete team, play on SAN DIEGO STATE.
