IMO Utah is the much stronger team. They had their scare last week when Air Force got up big early and they came back. This is a chance to show voters and BCS that they are for real. I do believe that New Mexico is obviously a quality team and that they have played well vs the decent teams on their schedule in Washington St., Oregon St, and Texas Tech but Utah is a much better team than all 3 of those teams and are better coached by Meyer than any of those 3 teams. Moore will probably play for Lobos but I feel that he won't be 100 percent and will be rusty. This is one of the few tests left on Utes schedule and I think they show up big time in this one. Any thoughts and especially from those that like New Mexico? I will say that this would be an average play for me as I don't like to lay double digits on the road but still feel Utes are at least 2 touchdowns better than Lobos even in their house.
D.D. Cox had a big game vs. NMState last week for Lobos backfield, will take pressure off of Moore. Kind of would lean with NM, thought the line came out a little high. New Mexico bettors may also want to check WR Baskett's status before making late bet. Utah's tough, tho, but not juggernaut tough.Kojak said:
UNM has a pretty good defense that has been tested against some good O's this year, and UNM has proven it is not outclassed by Utah. UNM has won the last two in this series, and absolutely dominated last year with a 633-300 yardage edge and 407 rushing yards! Utah is the better team, and they are motivated to prove that to us (and prove something to UNM and themselves after last year's humiliation - I hear the coaches have been wearing "got syrup?" t-shirts in reference to how many times defenders got pancaked last year), but I think 10 points is too many.
I hear You HOLYSMOKE It seems like yesterday we were 19 NOT anymore
I think I have to go wiht Utah tonight. I am starting to see that New Mex might hang in there for a quarter or a half....but half time adjustments, and then UTAH should roll....especially passing the ball. We all must remember turnovers.....I am not sure who ahs truned over the ball more Utah or NM
