New Mexico State Aggies vs Liberty Flames prediction
The New Mexico State Aggies are watching their season fall apart with 5 straight losses, and they're 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games. Basically, New Mexico State has no betting value in its current form. The Liberty Flames are 10-2 SU at home this season and have the offensive horses to comfortably pull away from New Mexico State if the Aggies continue to miss shots. Also, Liberty took New Mexico State to overtime on the road earlier this month. At home, Liberty should like its chances to close the deal. I'll lay the chalk with the Flames at home.
