Wyoming vs NM state +3.5

Ok both teams have  new QBs so nothing much there.   New Mexico State tho definitly has some motivation.   They were kicked out of the Sunbelt and this is their first year as an independant school.    I believe the line move from +5 to +3.5 is due to that.   They should be motivated and its a numbers grab for a home dog…   The problem with this team is that they only return 62% production with only 41% on offense and 83% on defense.    NM State was good enough to make a bowl game last year and should be motivated.   The problem here is the conference.   While the Mac is looked at as one the better group of 5, the Sun belt is looked at as one of the worst and that didn’t bode well for the Aggies.   On the other side of the coin, Wyoming returns a ton of production on offense at 79% fresh off that double digit bowl win over Central Michigan.   Tyler Vaner Waal will be at the helm throwing to some experienced skill position players.   Wyoming also returns a defense allowing only 17.5 PPG and 4.7 yards per play.   I also think its a little to early for Wyoming to be looking ahead to WASU.   Power ratings say Wyoming -5.5    Taking Wyoming -3.5
