Mayden Getting It Done For San Diego State

San Diego State vs New Mexico Prediction
Certainly, New Mexico looks to be cannon fodder for San Diego State. The Lobos are 0-7 SU in their last seven games and 0-5 ATS in their last five games.
This is the eight time in the last nine games between the two schools that the Aztecs are the double-digit chalk. They are 1-6 ATS in that scenario over the past seven outcomes. That includes an 0-2 ATS slate at New Mexico.
Pick: New Mexico +14.5 (-110).
