Trends

Wyoming is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. The over is 12-5 in Wyoming’s last 17 games. New Mexico is 2-6-2 ATS in their last 10 games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games. The over is 15-5-1 in New Mexico’s last 21 games. The underdog is 4-0 ATS in these two teams last 4 head to head meetings. 

Pick

New Mexico has lost seven of their last nine games and they are coming off of a very poor defensive game against Colorado State. These two teams split the regular season meetings, with Wyoming winning by 14 points and New Mexico winning by 1 point. New Mexico has been the better offensive team this season and Wyoming is still without one of their best players. I think we are going to see a close game, but I like the over in this one.
