New Mexico is coming into this game with a 12-1 record this season and they have won their last 11 straight games since losing their only game of the season to Saint Mary's. They have beaten some good teams in that span but their schedule has not been that strong as they have not faced a team that is currently ranked this season and they have also struggled a lot more in their road games. They have only played 2 road games this season which their only loss came in one of those while the other was a 1 point win against their rival New Mexico State. Now they are playing another road game here but it will be their 1st road game of the season in the conference. They are going up against a Colorado State team that is also 12-1 this season and has been playing very well in their recent games. Their only loss this year also came against Saint Mary's but they have won their last 3 straight games since then, including 1 on the road. They have been dominant at home this season as they have won 7 of their 8 games there and 5 of those 7 wins have also been by 10+ points. Colorado State also has some very good wins this season, including their win against a ranked Creighton team who is in the top 10 of the country, beating them at a neutral location. Colorado State has been playing like a ranked team all season and now that they are actually ranked in the top 25, they are playing with something to prove as they are one of the teams to beat in the MWC this season. Colorado State will cover the spread in this game.
