The Spartans were 4-26 straight up (SU) and 15-14 against the spread (ATS) last season. Vegas had a tendency to place the total a little high when San Jose State is involved, as 62.1 percent of their games gone under the projected point total.
Meanwhile, the Pride were 25-6 SU and 14-13 ATS last season. Of Hofstra’s 27 games with betting action last season, 17 finished over the projected point total.
The high-octane offense of Hofstra will face off against the porous defense of San Jose State. In the 2018-19 season, the Pride ranked second in offensive efficiency, while the Spartans were 349th in defensive efficiency. The Pride should have the advantage on that end of the court.
