Week 0: -135.
Week 1; -650 total: -785.
Week 2; -280 total: -1,065
Week 3: -23 total: -1,088
Week 4: +295 total: -793
Week 5: +191 total -602
Week 6: -189 total -791
Week 7; -352 total -1,143

Mistakes on my part, inconsistency and parity are keeping things mixed up.

They are talking sell-out at University Stadium. It’s a huge game in Albuquerque, they are saying the biggest game in some time. 

it will be fun. We all know coach Eck ro be a great competitor and expect to face a well prepared very good football team

Great interview out of New Mexico with Derek Hanson from Fargo. Derek’s interview is the first half

TAIL OF THE TAPE

Bison rushing is improving weekly, UNM rushing D has been weakening.

Although the Bison passing game is on a down slope the UNM passing D leaves plenty of room for the Bison.

Advantage Bison against a weakening UNM defense.

TAIL OF THE TAPE

New Mexico has a consistent and powerful rushing game averaging 107 more yards than the Bison give up.

The Lobo passing game averages 30 more yds/gm than than the Bison give up.

Advantage UNM: consistency of rushing game

The GAM is predicting NDSU 6.5 in a 20-26 contest. This is based on all games including UNMs 70 point extravaganza vs Mercyhurst and 50+ vs UTEP.

using conference games only still includes UTEP as one of UNM 2 conference games and Hawaii.

NDSU has 4 including UNLV & Air Force, the conferences other 2 top teams.

It’s unlikely but possible UNM isn’t what they appear to be. In a game based around conference games only and looking at some of NDSUs top games as guides this range of scores is developed definitely showing us a defensive battle

Currently the Bison are 4.5 for 110, OU 41.5 for 106. Based on the above it made sense to us. We challenged Fan Duel again

Bison +4.5 , ML 100 Under 41.5 Cost 315 return if Bison win 683
