North Dakota State Bison vs. New Mexico Lobos Prediction

I’m on North Dakota State in this one. I get the case to be made for the Lobos at home, and the first time North Dakota State played a team with a pulse this season, it didn’t go overly well. That being said, this Bison team is still legit and I look for the Bison to compete and potentially win this one outright. Give me North Dakota State here.
