Bowling Green vs New Mexico picks and predictions

For this game, we would choose to side with New Mexico State +2.5 against the spread. Here are a few reasons why we think this is a good choice:

Firstly, the Aggies have been a solid team this season, and their record is a fair reflection of their overall performance. They have a balanced team with a strong offense and a defense that has been able to hold its own against some tough opponents. This suggests that they have the ability to compete with Bowling Green and potentially even come out on top.

Secondly, the Falcons have also had a solid season, but their record of 6-6 is somewhat misleading. They have had a few close wins against weaker opponents, but have struggled against stronger teams, which suggests that they may not be as dominant as their record indicates. This could make them vulnerable against a strong Aggies team that is capable of raising their game when it matters the most.

Finally, the fact that the Aggies are being given +2.5 points suggests that they are the underdogs in this matchup. While the Falcons may be favored, the Aggies have a real chance to pull off an upset and come away with a win. With the points in their favor, the Aggies are suddenly an even more attractive pick against the spread.

PICK: New Mexico State Aggies +2.5 (-110)

Final Score Prediction: New Mexico State 27 - Bowling Green 24
