Middle Tennessee vs New Mexico State Prediction
Middle Tennessee and the free bucket is worth a look as you can argue the Blue Raiders have been the better team this season. However, New Mexico State beat Middle Tennessee last month on the road as 6.5-point underdogs and is coming off monster road wins over Kennesaw State and Jacksonville State. This is the best New Mexico State has looked possibly all year and that confidence has to be rather high at the moment. We’re laying less than a full bucket. Give me New Mexico State.
