New Mexico is coming into this game with a 13-2 record this season and 1 of those losses came very recently. They are coming off of a win at home against Wyoming, but they lost on the road against Colorado State in their game prior. New Mexico has been playing very well this season but they have not had a very strong schedule with the teams they have been playing and they have struggled a lot more on the road. They have only played in 3 road games this season but they lost 2 of those with the 1 win being by 1 point against their rival New Mexico State. They are going up against a UNLV team that is 7-6 this season but they have been playing much better in their recent games. They have won 3 of their last 4 as well as 4 of their last 6 games with all 4 of those wins coming at home where they have been much better. They are coming off of a loss on the road against San Jose State in their last game but they are going to be hungry to bounce back here at home, especially now that they are 0-1 in the conference. They have also won 6 of their last 7 games at home with their only loss coming in a look ahead spot as they beat Creighton at home in their very next game there. UNLV has been playing much better recently and they are very good at home while New Mexico has had a very strong start to the season but they are going to regress now in the conference with their schedule getting much tougher. UNLV will cover the spread in this game.
