New Mexico vs. Hawaii Prediction

I’m on New Mexico here. I know it’s senior night for Hawaii, but the Lobos have everything to play for here and aren’t a team that sees too many bowl games so you have to think this is at the forefront of their attention right now. The Warriors just got blitzed by Utah State and against Devon Dampier and this Lobos offense, I think Hawaii’s in some trouble. Give me the Lobos.
