This matchup features the New Mexico State Aggies visiting the Sam Houston State Bearkats. Both teams have struggled this season, with New Mexico State holding a 2-4 record and Sam Houston State sitting at 1-5. The numbers suggest a close game, but the betting odds favor New Mexico State.
The Aggies are the away team and are listed as 2.5-point favorites (-115). This means bettors backing New Mexico State need them to win by at least three points to cover the spread and get a payout. On the flip side, the Bearkats are given a 2.5-point cushion (+105), so a loss by two points or less, or a win outright, would pay off for those backing Sam Houston State.
Looking at the moneyline, New Mexico State is priced at -135. This indicates they are the favorite to win outright, and you’d need to bet $135 to win $100. Sam Houston State is the underdog at +114, meaning a $100 wager would yield $114 if they pull off the upset.
The total points line is set at 45.5, with the under slightly favored at -118 over the over at -102. This suggests the game might be a low-scoring affair, and bettors are leaning toward fewer than 46 points scored combined.
Given the records and odds, New Mexico State looks like the safer pick to win and cover. But with both teams struggling, this could be a tight game that tests the spread and possibly stays under the total points line.
