New Mexico State vs New Mexico Prediction
The New Mexico Lobos have the horses to blow the doors off, obviously, and New Mexico State hasn’t shown us much on the offensive end. The problem is this is a rivalry game and the underdog has covered 5 of the last 8 games. If there’s any game the Aggies will get up for, it’s this one, and they’ve shown enough heart defensively to hang around. Lots of points. Give me New Mexico State.Â
