The Miners -10, -400 Money Line favorite here, starting out this year after a 3-5 campaign in 2020. They face New Mexico State who only played two February preseason games last year due to Covid-19. My pick is UTEP -10, who I would think will be starting Gavin Hardison who threw for 1419 yards with a 117.4 passer rating last season.
The story for the New Mexico State Aggies is back on the field for regular season football for the first time in two years. Losing 6 defensive players to transfer after 2019. However for what its worth NMSU has won 3 straight in this rivalry. UTEP leads the all-time series, 57-38-2.
