The Utah State Aggies are off to an excellent start this season while the Utah Utes have stumbled a bit of late, so look for the Aggies to prevail at home in this in-state rivalry.

Utah State is now 8-1 after a 10-point road win at Idaho State on Saturday, with the only lo being by five points vs. BYU on a neutral court. The Aggies are always tough at home, and this year is no exception as they are 4-0 straight up in this building with a whopping average winning margin of +26.0 points per game.

They have also been very friendly to their supporters thus far, going 4-1 against the spread with the only non-cover coming as huge favorites in a game vs. UC Irvine that they still won by 12 points, a margin that would be more than good enough to cash this tickets.

Utah got off to a 5-1 start, but they have lost three of their last four games to fall to 6-4 SU. Yes, on3 of the losses was at Oklahoma, which is certainly forgivable, but the other two losses during this slump came as favorites vs. Idaho State and California, and we feel that this is a much tougher assignment than those two schools.

Utah is also shooting just 42.2 percent from the floor on the road this season while the Aggies are averaging an impressive 82.0 points here at home, so look for a rather comfortable Utah State victory.
