San Diego State vs Fresno State Pick & Prediction for Saturday, October 25, 2025

San Diego State Preview

San Diego State enters this matchup riding high on a four-game winning streak and a dominant 5-1 record, most recently dismantling Nevada by a score of 44-10. Don’t bet blind—our free college football predictions show you where the value is. The Aztecs have leaned on a strong defense and a run-heavy offense that’s controlled the tempo and worn teams down. Their ability to dominate time of possession and keep opposing offenses off the field has been their recipe for success all season.

A major factor in this game will be the injury report. San Diego State will be without wide receiver Ben Scolari due to a knee injury, while quarterback Draiden Trudeau is listed as questionable. If Trudeau is unable to go, that could shift the offensive approach entirely, potentially putting more pressure on the ground game and backup QB.

San Diego State’s stingy defense could be the difference-maker, especially if Fresno State continues to struggle with consistency. The Bulldogs will try to strike early and often, but if they can’t match the Aztecs in the trenches, it may be another long day.

Fresno State Preview

Fresno State comes into this game licking their wounds after a humbling 49-21 loss to Colorado State. The Bulldogs’ defense was shredded, and their offensive rhythm was disrupted early. Still, they sit at 5-2 and have proven they can put up points in bunches.
