New Mexico vs New Mexico State Pick
New Mexico State has the more productive passing attack, but the Aggies now face a New Mexico defense that held Oklahoma to only 14 points. The Lobos have used several quarterbacks, but their rushing attack should allow them to control possession and keep New Mexico Stateβs offense on the sideline. New Mexico State can remain competitive if Hedden avoids turnovers, but the Lobos have an advantage in overall depth and defensive strength. Look for New Mexico to gradually create separation and cover the road spread in this rivalry matchup.
