Missouri State at New Mexico State

The New Mexico State Aggies are off of back-to-back wars vs. huge in-state rival New Mexico. I doubt that they will have much energy to spill into this out-of-conference tilt vs. Missouri State. The Aggies gave it all in the two games vs. New Mexico, and fell short in both of them, dropping them under .500 for the season. It looks like a down year for the Bears as they are 2-9 to start the season, and 0-9 vs. Division-1 competition. A good barometer, however, is an overtime loss to South Carolina, and a 20-point loss to Oklahoma State. Both of those teams are better than New Mexico State who will probably have an emotional hangover after a pair with New Mexico. The Aggies are just 2-7 ATS after an ATS loss, and will struggle to take down the big number here. Play on Missouri State.
