New Mexico State vs. Missouri State Prediction


New Mexico State is absolutely dreadful, and that includes scoring 14 or fewer points in three of its last four games. New Mexico State has scored a combined 14 points in its last two games. The Aggies are 106th in total offense and 117th in scoring offense. No, thanks. Missouri State isn’t much better and is a bad team on both sides of the ball. I get it. However, Missouri State has won three of its four games at home this season and just gave FIU a run for its money on the road.

Missouri State has covered three of its last four games and is playing some of its best ball of the season. While both teams have struggled this season, there’s levels to the suck. New Mexico State is one of the worst teams in college football. I’ll lay the small number with Missouri State.
