New Mexico State vs. FIU Predictions
New Mexico State disappointed us tremendously in their 41-30 Week 0 loss to UMass, as it downed our College Football Parlay for the week. The Aggies have been up and down from that point, holding a 2-3 record while beating rival New Mexico and losing at Hawaii in their last game.
Florida International is 3-2 on the season, but they are coming off a humbling loss at home by a score of 38-6 against Liberty. The key to this game will be whether or not New Mexico State can establish the line of scrimmage, run the ball consistently, and control the game from there.
I believe the Aggies will be able to execute that game plan against an FIU defense that gave up 6.74 yards per rush attempt in its last game. Go ahead and take New Mexico State to win and cover the spread at home.
