The New Mexico Lobos (2-9, 0-7 Mountain West) travel to Colorado Springs to battle the Colorado State Rams (2-9, 2-5) Friday at 3:30 p.m. ET (CBS Sports Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around New Mexico vs. Colorado State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Coach Jay Norvell came to Colorado State from Nevada with hopes of propelling the Rams to the top of the Mountain West. He knew a tough road was ahead. This season has still been far more disappointing then even he imagined as Colorado State has struggled to a 2-9 record and includes a 17-14 loss to the Nevada team he left.
New Mexico comes in winless in conference and only having scored 80 points in those 7 conference games. At 2-9 as well, both teams are in the bottom 20 in power rankings of the 131 Div. I football programs and this will be a game to forget in the final week of the football season.

New Mexico at Colorado State picks and predictions
Prediction
Colorado State 17, New Mexico 10
Moneyline
PASS.
If you need to wager on this game, do not make it a ML wager as -300 on Colorado State is too high and +240 on New Mexico is not worth the value with the Lobos being winless in conference.
Against the spread
Off the board.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 35 (-109)
With both teams being terrible on offense, there is not much to say about this number. New Mexico averages 11.4 points in conference games and Colorado State averages 14. A low scoring game will be played in Colorado Springs. Despite the extremely small number, I still like Under 35 (-109) as my favorite play.
