Grand Canyon vs New Mexico Prediction

New Mexico is the better team obviously and has covered 7 of its last 8 games. I wouldn’t talk you off the ledge if looking to ride the hot hand of the Lobos. However, Grand Canyon is far from a pushover, as this team can score the ball, defends well, and has recent upsets over Boise State and Wyoming. This has a chance to be a back and forth MWC contest where Grand Canyon puts a scare into the Lobos. I’ll grab the points with the road team.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Grand Canyon +7.5
