PICK: I’ve got to stay with New Mexico State here. The Aggies have been a solid offensive team for most of the year. They’ve hit 68 or more points in 10 of their last 11 games (the outlier being a 46-point dud versus Sam Houston). Conversely Dixie State had a good run going in late January but they’ve managed just 105 combined points in their last pair. New Mexico State should have a clear path to a cover in this one.
