UNDER Bettors have Cashed in Eight Straight Aggies’ Home Games

None of the players in this game were born the last time these two schools played each other. In fact, there’s a good chance that a lot of their parents weren’t born yet either. Wyoming beat New Mexico State in 1953 at Wyoming – so recent matchup data doesn’t really apply to this game. Wyoming opened as a -4 favorite in this season opener.

  • The total has gone UNDER in eight straight New Mexico State home games.

Cowboys vs Aggies Matchup Page

Craig Bohl’s Rebuild Taking Shape

Last year’s Famous Idaho Potato Bowl champions are without bowl game MVP Josh Allen, drafted seventh overall by the Buffalo Bills, however, Wyoming is expected to continue its upward trend in 2018, with this year’s version of the Cowboys being the best one yet under coach Craig Bohl.

There’s a QB battle between Tyler Vander and Nick Smith. Analysts believe that both have the potential to be better than the guy they are replacing. The defense led the Mountain West in sacks in 2017 and is returning the majority of that special group.

Aggies Looking to get to Second Straight Bowl Game

The New Mexico State Aggies made it to a bowl game for the first time in 57 years in 2017, winning the Arizona Bowl 26-20 in overtime against Utah State. Ironically, Utah State had been their last bowl opponent in 1960 at the Sun Bowl.

The team has lost 21 of its 47 offensive touchdowns from last season as running back Larry Rose and wide receiver Jaleel Scott have moved on. Junior running back Jason Huntley, who ran for 800 yards on 110 touches in a backup role last season, is already proven and primed to step into the limelight. The Aggies are unproven at QB, so expect Huntley to play a large role in the offense, especially at the outset.

The New Mexico defense is largely the same as last season and the secondary led by Shamad Lomax and Ray Buford Jr. is expected to make life very difficult for opposing QBs. The Aggies D held opponents under 30 points per game and generated 27 turnovers in just 13 games.
