New Mexico vs Boise State Prediction

Boise State comes into this matchup after a tough loss against Notre Dame last week, but they are 2-0 at home so far this year. The Broncos have scored 47+ points in all three of their wins this season and will face a New Mexico defense that was just shredded by San Jose State. The Lobos have scored 28+ in four straight games, including 35 against UCLA in a win. I think we will see plenty of offense in this matchup, so I like the over here.
