New Mexico State vs. Fresno State Pick
This line suggests that it is a Fresno State play.
The Aggies were the better team during the regular season, and Fresno State comes into this game playing their worst football of the year, yet we see this line at just 3.5.
As long as Keene goes, the Bulldog's offense will be able to put up points consistently and keep pace in this game.
Pavia has been great this season, but he will be nowhere near one hundred percent in this game as he continues to nurse an injury.
The Bulldogs do enough to stay within this number.Â
