Randy’s Pick

The Liberty Flames have earned the right to be big favorites, and they did beat New Mexico State 33-17 this season. However, that game was the second week of the season, and it’s fair to say the Aggies are a better team right now. New Mexico State has a top-25 scoring defense and a top-15 rushing offense. And as good as Liberty is, it’s New Mexico State that’s 10-2-1 ATS on the year. New Mexico State has covered eight straight games and is 9-0-1 ATS in its last 10 games. Conference title on the line. I’ll grab the double-digit points.
