What a Season for New Mexico State

New Mexico State has had quite the season and coming into this game they sit with a 7-3 record overall. In the last game against Middle Tennessee State, the defense was elite giving up only seven points and that led to the six point victory. Under center for New Mexico State is Diego Pavia and he completed 16 of his 31 passes for 220 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. New Mexico State is averaging 27.8 points while their defense is giving up 20 points per game. The defense is ranked 30th in the league and it’s going to need to step up in a big way here.

Can Western Kentucky Become Bowl Eligible?

Shane’s Free Pick

This total is too high. New Mexico State really struggled to score in the last game and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. I do expect their defense is going to be good here. Western Kentucky isn’t going to get good quarterback play here, and that will be the difference as this game is going to end up lower scoring. Back the under to cash here with ease.
