The over is 5-0 in Aggies last 5 games as a favorite.
The New Mexico State Aggies should probably be the favorites because they’re at home and their top-50 passing attack is the most exiting thing between these clubs. However, we’re talking about two of the worst teams in all of college football. Neither Umass nor New Mexico State plays a lick of defense, and It’s why they’re a combined 2-20 on the season. I’m not laying calk with either side. It’s UMASS and the points or pass for me.
