The current betting odds have CSU listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Both of these teams are entering this game with the same 2-9 record and neither team really has anything left to play for here other than pride as neither will be in a bowl game this year. CSU has still been a lot better in their games despite having the same record as New Mexico. CSU has kept a lot of their losses close this season and they are going to be at home for this rivalry game so they have the home advantage here too. UNM has been terrible in their losses though as they have been getting blown out in a lot of their games with no real shot to win any of them. They have also been terrible on the road this season and they will struggle to put points up on the board in this game. CSU doesn't score a lot of points in their games but this UNM defense has been so bad this season giving up a ton of points in their games, CSU will have no problem scoring here at home. They will be able to pull away as the game goes on and UNM won't be able to keep up here on the road with that terrible offense. The best way to place a bet here is on CSU to cover the spread in this game.

 

New Mexico Colorado State Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Friday, November 25, 2022 (3:30 pm ET start time) is CSU 21 UNM 10.

"You always go through and digest every single thing you're doing wrong. Obviously our second half has been horrendous. We haven't made adjustments, and then you have to be able to score points. You're not going to win games scoring 10 points a game." - Danny Gonzales after his team’s loss against SDSU in their last game.

 

 

"It was a pretty typical Air Force game, to be honest with you. We just didn't counter them and really put any pressure on them." - Jay Norvell after his team’s loss against AFA in their last game.
