Saturday’s college football schedule sees UTEP and New Mexico State kick off their respective seasons at 9:30 p.m. ET at Aggie Memorial Stadium in Las Cruces, N.M. Below, we look at the UTEP at New Mexico State odds and lines; check back for our college football picks and predictions.
UTEP played eight games last season and won three. The Miners ended their season with four straight losses, but they outgained foes in three of those four setbacks. The 2021 UTEP roster returns 19 starters, including 11 for an offense that has incrementally added points and yards each of the last three seasons.
New Mexico State did not play at all last fall. The Aggies had a two-game spring season (against two FCS opponents) and head coach Doug Martin treated those contests like exhibition games, working in players up and down the roster.
The 2020 COVID-19 autumn snapped a streak of 18 straight years with these two programs meeting on the gridiron. UTEP leads the all-time series, 57-38-2, but NMSU has a three-game straight-up and against-the-spread winning streak (2017-19).
