New Mexico Bowl
Location: University Stadium, Albuquerque, New Mexico
Matchup: Nevada (No. 4 WAC) vs. New Mexico (No. 5 Mountain West)
Spread: New Mexico -3
Smartass Comment about the Bowl Itself: New Hampshire gets the first-in-the-nation primary, New Mexico gets the fourth-in-the-nation bowl. Sounds about right.
Thoughts: This is a glorified extra home game for New Mexico. Made even moreso by the fact that Nevada's bringing nobody to the game. Nevada Quarterback Colin Kaepernick could be getting Colt Brennan-like buzz in four years but I'm not sure how up for this "bowl" Nevada is going to be. New Mexico ranks 25th in scoring defense and is playing for their first "bowl win" in 46 years (the 1961 Aviation Bowl in Dayton, OH...yes there used to be a bowl in DAYTON, OHIO)
Pick: Nevada -3
Confidence: 7 out of 32
