Yeesh. There might be help lines out there if you feel the need to bet this dumpster fire of a game. I mean you have two teams from the state of New Mexico that can’t score and in the case of the Aggies, have a harder time keeping points off of the board than the Lobos do, but that’s not saying a whole lot. I want nothingt o do with either of these teams if you couldn’t tell, but if forced to pick, I’m siding with the under. I envision this game being a slopfest from start to finish.
