I don't know anything about the nmsu program but I would agree that the team would have to be something awful to not be able to stay within 17 of auburn

flmrrz- for me it is OSU or nothing. NWU has nothing up front to stop OSU. and this is the big 10 opener and i would be surprised to see OSU flat for it. You always want to get off on the right foot in conference play, and i think OSU took a ton of momentum out of that game last week. dude- tressel jumped out on the field almost to the numbers when the buckeyes blocked the FG to start the half. they reallyplayed a great 2H after opening a little shaky. NWU just is awful this year. They should have lost to Nevada, they played Northeastern and won 27-0...so what and then they lost to Duke who is just atrocious. Now they travel TO columbus to play OSU. If OSU's O-line comes to play NWU is going to be on the field all day defensively as OSU takes 7 and 10 yard chunks. And i'm telling you, the freshman Saine is the fastest kid i have seen. he gets to the corner and it is over. I need to read a little more from OSU later in the week before i decide if i am going to play it or not.
as far as NMSU goes, they have a great QB and they can roll up a ton of offense. They are what they are, but i think 17 is a nice number there. I think AUB is reeling, as well. They have lost 2 in a row at home and im not so sure if this team doesn't have issues offensively that go beyond lets circle the wagons. NMSU beat a decent UTEP team last weekend. Backdoor cover is definitely in play.
im not on either one yet, but i have my eye on both. i am hoping to get more than 17 with NMSU later in the week. i can't believe the public would hammer NMSU. but less than 17 the value diminishes a lot, IMO. Below 16 it is a no play.
GL!
