This is an 8* TOTAL ART OF THE GAME on the UNDER between New Mexico State and Idaho.

When the smoke clears at the end of this one, I expect this total to sneak below this sky-high number. For me, this is strictly a situational and trend based pick. New Mexico State is just 2-5 overall and only 1-2 in Conference, while Idaho is 0-6 overall and 0-4 in league play. Neither of these cellar dwellers will be playing in a bowl, but each will be eager to earn a Conference win today. Both teams are also coming off high-scoring losses, the Aggies a 41-24 setback to Troy, while the Vandals fell 47-24 at Georgia Southern; so because of that, I expect each to play with a concerted effort defensively today. Note that New Mexico State has seen the total go UNDER the number in five of its last nine vs. teams with losing records, while Idaho has seen it dip below the posted number in five of its last seven in the same position. This can still be a high-scoring game and fall below this extremely high number and that's exactly what I expect; play on the UNDER.
