Texas-San Antonio Road Runners vs. New Mexico Lobos Prediction
The Roadrunners have been a solid play when they are a pooch with little appeal to the public. The Roadrunners covering against the spread at Texas A&M and Arizona State and their outright triumphs against Southern Mississippi and Middle Tennessee State, showcase their upside and propensity to be overlooked. New Mexico is entering this bowl game with a vulnerability to be overvalued. In what will be a barnburner, taking back over a touchdown is always a prudent play. Factoring in the narrative that New Mexico's defense is surrendering 32 points per game, the Roadrunners have an excellent chance of going toe-to-toe with the Lobos. If New Mexico comes in uninspired by virtue of the fact they may be irked at playing yet another New Mexico Bowl, the Roadrunners can easily take the Lobos to the pound.
