GTS - WYOMING vs. New Mexico

GTS - Guess The Score

Lobos are a 3-point favorite despite being on the road. Nothing says, "we're struggling" like being underdogs to fuckin' New Mexico.

I expect Wyoming to win this game. Partly because they have to, or things will get uglier, and because New Mexico has issues similar to Wyo.

I think Hill continues his quiet pursuit of MWC OPOY with a huge performance, and both defenses have poor performances. Defense comes through with a late turnover. Wyoming 38, New Mexico 35.

Your turn...

I'm taking UNM, 31-28.

New Mexico has the nation's 15th best rushing attack, the Pokes are 57th.
New Mexico is 81st in total offense, and the Pokes are ranked 80th.
New Mexico is 57th in rushing defense and the Pokes are 81st.
New Mexico is 68th in total defense and the Pokes are 98th.

Local book has New Mexico -3 and the over/under at 54 1/2. Wyoming has scored 13, 29, and 14 in their first 3 games and New Mexico has scored 66, 21, and 10. Even though both defenses aren't that good, neither team has proven they can score against even bad defenses, so I figure the odds makers are dead on with this one.... New Mexico 20 - Pokes 17 (fuck, I just threw up in my mouth a little with that prediction).

I sure hope we get this ship turned around. The fact we are dogs at home vs New freakin Mexico makes me cringe.

Unfortunately, I don't think we are there yet to get the W

NM 31-20

 

[ragtimejoe1]

I'm thinking tossup or UNM wins big.

I'll guess:
UNM 34
WYO 17

 

[Bryoming]

I'm (probably foolishly) keeping the faith.

Pokes 28
Pups 21

 

[jessejames02]

21-17 Lobos.You don't get crushed at home by ND and EMU and expect to be favored in anything.

 

[LanderPoke]

24-20 POKES

 

[McPeachy]

UNM 41 - UW 30

Who really thinks we can stop any team defensively? Especially the run?

And I am giving UW a lot of credit to get to 30 points. 4 TD's, 3 XP's, 1 FG (6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3).

New Mexico 24 - Wyoming 20

I believe both defenses will have trouble getting off the field but that points will be slow to come due to long sustained drives.

Please prove me long and blow out the Lobos!

 

[PokeOLoco]

Loobs- 31
Pokes- 17

Offensively we have the same problem as last year in that we gain decent yardage but we don't score enough points, especially in the 2nd half... and defensively.. well....

We have to play assignment safe football, and for watch out for the play action... you know they're looking at that film and thinking if we can get to the next level in the defense it's lights out for 6.

 

[Adv8RU12]

Of all the games this year, this the one the Pokes have the best chance of winning.
That means it will be close, and a lucky break could decide the outcome. I'm going 21-17.
But I don't know who gets the 21 and who gets the 17.

 

[wwcc22]

OK this is a must win NM 17 Pokes 27

 

[DVDA]

UNM 49-24

 

[TheRealUW]

UNM 28-7

The Pokes are a really really bad football team. The Lobos are just really bad. There's enough of a difference there for the Lobos to walk away from War Memorial with a fairly comfortable W.

I do think the guys will pull together to squeak past UNLV to end the season and prevent a winless season. See, I'm not a total pessimist.
