Still no info on why the line switch, but since there's been only 450 +/- tickets written on this game, it's not surprising that any big bet might have moved the line.
But getting back to why I like Utah State in this one, the main reason is the strength of schedule each team has played and the results.
UC Davis has played only 3 games so far.

As you can see, Davis has yet to play any team ranked higher than 297.
Utah State has had a much tougher schedule.

With such a small sample size to work with, I don't have anything else to say about the game. Someone(s) thinks Davis is the right side here, but I have to disagree. We'll know more in a couple of hours.
BOL to y'all and hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
