Bet on New Mexico State vs. Miami
These two have no recent meetings to consider for tonight’s game. Miami has been rolling along so far and I think the Hurricanes will have too much offensive balance and too strong of a defense for the Aggies. New Mexico State is just 3-8 against the spread in their last 11 games following a cover. Look for the Aggies to be overwhelmed quickly. The public betting is slightly with Miami tonight and I agree.
