New Mexico Lobos vs Utah State Aggies prediction
The New Mexico Lobos are a profitable 18-11 ATS on the season and had no issues with Utah State back in January, so I did consider the free bucket. The Lobos lit up the Aggies for 99 points in the last meeting. With that said, the Utah State Aggies are 13-1 SU at home this season, and I'd need more points to go against that. We're laying a single bucket with the Aggies. Give me Utah State to get the job done, extending its winning streak to 5 games.
