Bowling Green vs. New Mexico State Prediction
It feels like both offenses have the upper-hand in this matchup. New Mexico State likes to run the football, and it does so with efficiency. Bowling Green’s run defense ranks 83rd overall while having some problems against MAC opponents. On the other side, Bowling Green loves to sling the pigskin, and New Mexico State ranks 91st in opponent completion percentage.
Neither of these offenses look great on paper, but both should be able to attack the vulnerabilities of the opposing defense. For that reason, a total of 48.5 points feels too low. Take the over!
