Aggies are 5-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

Bobcats are 4-1 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.

Bobcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog of 0.5-3.0.

Under is 5-1 in Bobcats last 6 neutral site games.

My Prediction: Utah State started the season by almost upsetting Auburn on the road, but came up short 42-38. After that, they lost 4 of 6, but have ended the season on a 5-game winning streak. Ohio lost their chance at a January Bowl game by losing the MAC Championship 23-20 to Northern Illinois. They now must make a long trip out West to the cold blue turf to face a team that will have a short bus trip and many more fans. I like the Aggies in this one.
