Fresno State at New Mexico State

The 2007 season ended for New Mexico on one of the highest high's in the program’s recent history. They notched a 23-0 Bowl win at University Stadium over Nevada. Since that win New Mexico has played 18 games, and if you didn't even consider the losses, they still wouldn't be Bowl eligible yet! The Lobos have dropped 10 straight games, so to be marked as a favorite here has to raise some eyebrows. With just three returning defensive starters from last season, this team is allowing 38 points per game. UNLV certainly isn't having a record-breaking year, but they have managed to put two in the win column, and gave a decent Wyoming team all they could handle on the road. The Lobos are 1-7 ATS in their last eight, and already were posted as a double-digit favorite at home, then found a way to lose that one. They also dropped their last two to close out '08 as a favorite. One of those was vs. UNLV. The Lobos are like physics: an object in motion tends to stay in motion. Losing teams find ways to lose, and I'm going with the Runnin’ Rebels here.
