FIU beat this team last year in Las Cruces 21-7. That was Jerry Kill's first season with the Aggies and one would expect them to put up more offense this season but the Aggies are 105th in offense so far and still struggle to put up points. Meanwhile, FIU are only averaging 21.6 points per game so they are not putting up a lot of offense either. This game should see less points as it stays under the total. FIU is a little better on defense as it is ranked 76th in the country and are only allowing on average 25.6 points per game and they are good at forcing turnovers. Both teams like to control the clock so this game should definitely see less plays as both sides chew up the clock with long failed drives as both like to run the ball.

FIU is 2-0 to the Under when they play on the road this season. The total has gone Under in 4 of Florida International's last 5 games. The total has gone Under in 5 of FIU's last 6 games against an opponent in the Independents (FBS) conference. The total has gone UNDER in 4 of New Mexico State's last 6 games. The total has gone Under in 5 of New Mexico State's last 6 games against an opponent in the Conference USA. FIU in weeks 5 through 9 are 6-3 to the Under in the last three seasons.

Best bet: take the Under the Total.
