10* WED CONF-USA TOTAL OF WEEK - 29-14 (+$13.7K)
(NCAAF) New Mexico State vs. UTEP,
Total: 48.50 | -109.00 Over
Result: Loss
This is a 10* CONFERENCE-USA TOW on the OVER New Mexico State/UTEP.

The Aggies are 4-3 and come in with 2-1 record in league play. They're off two striaght wins, inlcluding a 27-13 victory over Sam Houston State. The offense looked OK, but the fact that the defense allowed 13 points to the Bearkats is what I think is the major concern obviously (they're 0-6.)

UTEP is just 2-5, but it's off a much-needed 27-14 road win over FIU on Wednesday, with QB Cade McConnel going 11 of 17 for 26 yards and two TD's.

Overall the Aggies average 30 PPG, while allowing 26, while the Miners average 17.7, while allowing 26.1.

UTEP has nothing to lose here, except another game. NMSU is just 1-2 on the road, so the Miners have a great opportunity here to pull off the mior upset at home and give themselves a slim hope still at a bowl berth.

Two highly motivated teams collide here in Conference USA action on Wednesday night and everything points to this total flying OVER the number sooner, rather than later in my opinion.

Good luck, NP
