New Mexico State Aggies
Win Home
2.10
This matchup presents an interesting value opportunity on the New Mexico State Aggies at +115. While Sam Houston State (-135) holds the favorite tag, their transition to FBS football remains a work in progress. Last season, the Bearkats struggled significantly, finishing 3-9 with an offense ranked among the nation's worst, averaging just 18.9 points per game. Their defense, while occasionally solid, allowed 30+ points in seven contests.
New Mexico State, conversely, enjoyed a breakout 10-5 season in 2023, capped by a bowl win. While they lost key players, head coach Jerry Kill has instilled a tough, physical identity centered on a powerful run game. The Aggies have consistently outperformed expectations under Kill.
Sam Houston's offensive limitations are a major concern against an Aggie squad that averaged over 30 points per game last year. The Bearkats simply haven't proven they can consistently score at the FBS level. While home-field helps Sam Houston, NM State's established system, coaching edge with Kill, and proven resilience offer tremendous value at +115. The odds underestimate the Aggies' ability to control the game on the ground and exploit Sam Houston's offensive inconsistencies.
