The Lobos are 8-22 ATS in their last 30 road games and 16-40-1 ATS in their last 57 games overall. The Falcons are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games in November and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

The New Mexico Lobos have no offense to speak of and have actually been held to 10 or fewer points in 4 of their last 6 games. The Air Force Falcons should be big favorites here at home. However, Air Force is the top rushing team in the country and that tends to eat the clock a lot. Also, Air Force isn’t blowing the doors off the competition most nights, and a lot of that has to do with a scoring offense that’s 70th in the country. Air Force wins, but I’m grabbing the points.
