New Mexico vs Arizona State Prediction
Both of these teams enter this matchup with 5-1 records to start the season and we should be in for a pretty good game here. The Sun Devils have scored at least 80 points in five straight games, while New Mexico has scored at least 80 in three of their last four. Both teams are shooting about 47% from the field and they are very similar on the defensive end of the floor. I think either team could win this game, but I do think we are going to see a lot of points, so I will take the over here.
