If New Mexico State does not win five games or more this season, it will be their 12th straight without doing so. They have four to go to get there, and I don't see it happening. It will be a taller task this week as RB Larry Rose may be out, or at least limited, after injuring his groin. UL Lafayette is facing even more problems on offense, as their top two offensive players QB Anthony Jennings and RB Elijah McGuire were both banged up in their last contest, but appear to be at least healthy enough to give it a go. That is a lot of potential offense from a pair of low-level FBS teams without a lot of depth. Since 1994, UL Lafayette has won nine games four times, all in consecutive seasons, but otherwise has not had even a single winning season. This looks like a game of chess, more than a shootout with each side trying to limit hits on injured key offensive players. This one stays UNDER.
