Boise State Broncos vs New Mexico Lobos. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Boise State Broncos. Both teams are heading into this first of two matchups on winning runs both straight up and against the spread.
Boise has the lengthier winning run, giving them a slight advantage in momentum, but New Mexico’s victory over top-ranked San Diego State stands out among the group.
This month, San Jose State was a frequent opponent for both open teams. On their respective teams’ home courts, the Broncos and Lobos defeated the Spartans by three and twenty points, respectively.
Another common opponent was Wyoming, where both teams competed. The outcomes were reversed; Boise State destroyed Wyoming while New Mexico managed to escape with a one-point victory.
In a sense, those contests cancel one out, but UNLV is another match worth noting. The Lobos fell to the Rebels at home, 84-77, while the Broncos defeated them, 84-66, in Las Vegas.
In the last five matches, Boise State has shot 49.7% compared to New Mexico’s 48.1%, outscoring them by an average of 3.2 points per contest.
A Lobos team playing in a venue like The Pit makes it difficult to predict the outcome, but Boise State is 7-1 ATS in the previous eight meetings between the two. The Boise State Broncos will win to a predicted score of 76-71.
