The New Mexico State Aggies haven’t looked great through two Games, and that includes allowing Southeast Missouri State to hang around. I doubt things get better on the road for the first time. The Fresno State Bulldogs have potential offensively, and let’s not forget that Game against Michigan was a one score Game with 10 minutes left. There’s a decent gap between New Mexico State and Fresno State. New Mexico State is 4-7 ATS in its last 11 Games as a double-digit underdog. Give me Fresno State in a home beat down.
