Pick

I’m backing New Mexico here. Current bracketology reports have New Mexico on the outside looking in, so a sluggish performance here would almost be a death nail in their proverbial coffin. Fresno State has surprised in spots, but with New Mexico desperate here along with the fact that it’s senior night for the Lobos, I just think this is setting up to be a tough spot for the Bulldogs. I’ll side with New Mexico at home laying the points.
