New Mexico will travel to Nevada to take on the Nevada Wolf Pack. The Wolf Pack has had a disappointing season at 1-5. They have been a little better than their 1-5 record, as 3 of their games were decided by 3 or fewer points. Both these teams give up 5.8 yards per play, but the New Mexico offense is generating 5.7 yards per play while the Nevada offense just 5ypp. There is one bigger problem that really stands out. New Mexico is 3-3 on the season, but they have turned the ball over 14 times in 6 games or 2.3 times a game, and that has risen to 2.75 over their last 4 games. It is very dangerous to walk into a game with a team that has shown little regard for ball security. I like Nevada in this one.

Pro Picks
New Mexico at Nevada
Both of these teams have struggled all season defensively as each has been plagued by turnovers. Nevada has averaged 2.3 turnovers per contest while New Mexico has been even worse at 2.4. Combined these teams have given the ball away almost five times per game and that will determine the outcome. New Mexico's weakness is defending the pass, something Nevada is not very equipped of taking advantage of as they are not close to even average throwing the ball. What the Lobos do well is run the ball and they will have success against Nevada running the ball and controlling the tempo. That should be the difference in what appears to be a pick-em type game so the points look large. Grab the points on New Mexico.

Pro Picks
New Mexico at Nevada
New Mexico prefers to run the football, with two QBs combining for two TDs and three picks through five contests. That eats up yards and the clock, and the Lobos are 9-3 UNDER the total on fieldturf. They run into a Nevada team that is struggling to find the end zone, scoring 17, 24, 27 and 20 points the last four games. Nevada is on an 18-6 run UNDER the total, including 21-7 UNDER on fieldturf. At least Nevada can play some defense at home, on a 13-3 run UNDER the total at home. Against a weak UNLV defense last week at home they lost 23-17 going 6-of-18 on third and fourth down combined. The Wolf Pack is 7-0 UNDER the total at home against a team with a winning road record, plus 11-3 UNDER following a defeat. This shapes up as a contest with more punts and field goals than TDs. Take the UNDER.
