Fresno State vs New Mexico Prediction
The Fresno State Bulldogs aren’t a good basketball team, as they’re below average on both offense and defense. The New Mexico Lobos are 10-1 SU at home and have the offensive horses to do dirty things to Fresno State’s defense. With that said, I’m not laying 20 points with the Lobos. Fresno State has its issues, but it’s also covered seven of its last 10 games and is 11-6-1 ATS on the season. New Mexico is just 9-9 ATS on the season and recently lost to San Jose State as a 9.5-point favorite. This will be just the fourth time since 2020 where New Mexico is a favorite of 20 or more points. The line is too steep. Give me Fresno State and the boatload of points on Monday night.
