The St. John’s Red Storm are probably the more talented team on paper, and they’re at home, so they’re going to get a lot of love from oddsmakers and bettors. However, this is one of the more talented New Mexico teams we’ve seen in recent memory, and the Lobos already beat UCLA on the road as an underdog. New Mexico has the offensive firepower to hang in this spot and make things interesting. Give me the points with the Lobos.
