In the #SDSU vs. #NewMexico game tomorrow night, I have my first game of the week where my collegeedge ratings say the team that should be favored is the squad getting points. The Lobos are home on Friday night in a MWC game vs. the Aztecs of SanDiegoSt and instead of being favored in the game, as I believe they should be, New Mexico is the underdog.
The major reason New Mexico should be favored in the game is the loss of SDSU's efficient and underrated QB, Quinn Kaehler. His replacement is young(a freshman), inexperienced, and played horribly in his only start of the year(vs. Fresno St.).
Other reasons I think Lobos should be favored: Aztecs have only 3.5 starters back on defense, and they will be assigned the complicated task of facing an option offense; New Mexico showed an ability to play decent defense in the first half of the Fresno St. and played very well defensively last week in their 21-9 win over UTSA; finally home team has the chance to make up for an earlier, big stage, Friday night loss at Fresno St.
Look, I always worry when I go with a team that has been pretty bad in recent years. But, I think coach Bob Davie has been doing a decent job in Albuquerque( three years prior to Davie's arrival, New Mexico went 1-11 three consecutive years).
Take New Mexico. Take it as soon as possible. Line is going down.
