Western Kentucky on the season is averaging 29 points while their defense is giving up 21.3 points per Game.  The offense is ranked 66th in the league while the defense is 37th. In this Game if the defense is good, Westnerk Kentucky is going to have no issue coming out on top here.

  • New Mexico State has lost six of its last seven games against non-AP-ranked teams.
  • Western Kentucky has covered the spread in six of its last seven games.
  • New Mexico State has failed to cover the spread in six of its last seven November games as a home underdog.

What an Awful Season for New Mexico State

It’s been awful season for New Mexico State and coming into this Game they sit with a 2-6 record. In the last Game against the FIU Panthers, New Mexixco State scored only 13 points and theat led to the blowout defeat. Brandon Nunez and Santino Marucci both were under center and both looked pretty awful. 

New Mexico State is averaging 19.6 points while their defense is giving up 36.6 points per game. The offense is ranked 121st in the league while hte defense is ranked 127th. This team has been so inconsistent, but if they were able to pull off a win here, it would be quite the big upset. 

Western Kentucky vs New Mexico State Prediction

New Mexico State isn’t very talented with the offense and their lack of scoring will be the difference here. Western Kentucky’s offense is better, but not that much better as they are averaging only 29 points per Game, and they also aren’t going to run up the score here. Neither team is going to reach the 25 point mark in this Game and this Game will stay under the total. Back the under to cash.
