4* Free Week 8 NCAA Betting Prediction: UTEP +3
As of now, the Aggies trail in the series with a record of 38-59-2 since their first meeting in 1914.
UTEP are 11-2 SU in their last 13 games when playing at home against New Mexico State, and defensively, UTEP looked good in their most recent game vs. FIU.
For this week’s best bet, I like UTEP to cover with the line currently sitting at +3.
New Mexico St. should win this one straight up, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t. NMST are 3-17 SU in their last 20 games on the road, so we can see things don’t go too smoothly for them when they’re not at home.
I have the total on this one coming in at 45.
We’ve seen the total hit the UNDER in 4 of New Mexico State’s last 5 games, and the total has gone UNDER in 5 of UTEP’s last 7.
