Utah vs. New Mexico Pick
New Mexico hopes to avoid another massive beating on Saturday when it gets 23-points as it hosts Utah.
Utah is a 23-point favorite at New Mexico according to oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com. The over/under has been set at 54.
Utah is 2-0 on the season and 1-0 against the spread while splitting the over/under in the two lined games. The Utes are 10-7 ATS in conference games over the past three seasons while also going 4-1 ATS as favorites of 21.5-to-31 points during that stretch. Utah has also hit the over in all five of those contests.
The Lobos are 0-2 on the year and 0-2 against the spread while hitting the over in both games. New Mexico is 11-15 ATS in all lined games over the last three years and just 2-8 ATS in September since 2008. The Lobos have managed to hit the over in 7-of-10 September games during that time frame as well.
New Mexico has hit the over in their games but it is because they are so bad. Utah should have no issue covering this spread as it runs all over the Lobos. We also think the under can hit as Utah has shown it can score quickly and frequently.
