Shane’s Free Pick

I don’t trust this New Mexico defense, especially with the way the defense has been playing this season. New Mexico gave up 91 points in the last game, and this Utah Valley offense is averaging 76.9 points per game. Look for Utah Valley to run up the score, and New Mexico is going to have no answer. Back Utah Valley against the spread.
