San Diego State Aztecs vs New Mexico Lobos prediction
The San Diego State Aztecs are on a heater, and I wouldn’t talk you off the cliff if you wanted to grab the free bucket. However, this is one of the better New Mexico teams we’ve seen in recent memory, and this is a chance to get a statement win that would pay off big time come March. The New Mexico Lobos are also 10-5 ATS on the season, so they’re a team bettors should have been backing all year anyway. It’s only a bucket. Give me New Mexico to get the job done.
