Air Force vs New Mexico Prediction, Game Preview, and Betting Lines

Can either of these teams get their season’s going?

They’re both tremendously coached, but it just so happens to be an off year for Air Force under Troy Calhoun, and New Mexico is just getting going under Bronco Mendenhall.

The Lobos have been fun - they rolled for 50 points against New Mexico State and put a ton of points on the board, but they can’t stop anyone. Three of the next four games are on the road, and all of a sudden, Air Force is a winnable game.

The Falcons can’t get their O going, and they desperately need this win before getting three of the next four games in Colorado Springs.

Air Force vs New Mexico: Who Will Win

Something has to give.

Air Force has nation’s worst scoring offense, New Mexico has one of the nation’s worst scoring defenses, and they’re both struggling way too much.

The Falcons can’t convert a third down, and the Lobos can’t stop third down plays.

It’s the movable object vs the stoppable force, but the Air Force offense will finally get the ground game going a little bit.

The little mistakes will matter, too - both teams need all the help they can get. Air Force doesn’t get flagged, and New Mexico is one of the nation’s most penalized teams.
