We've got you covered with our preview and best bet for this New Mexico State vs Fresno State matchup in college football.

New Mexico State Returns to Non-Conference Action

Last week, the New Mexico State Aggies played their first Conference USA game of the 2024 season, losing a tight game to Liberty. They will return to non-conference play this week, though, as they take on Fresno State on the road. At 1-1 on the season so far, the Aggies will look to pull off a major upset in this contest to get back above the .500 mark for the year.

While New Mexico State lost to Liberty last week, they did cover the spread in a game that was decided by just six points. With Diego Pavia flourishing at Vanderbilt after transferring from NMSU in the offseason, the Aggies were not expected to compete in that game. If they can do it again here, all hope might not be lost for the conference title hopes of the Aggies once they jump back into Conference USA competition.

Fresno State Caps An Exciting Week

The Fresno State Bulldogs are also 1-1 so far this season. They beat FCS Sacramento State last week after losing 30-10 to Michigan in their season opener. But that loss to Michigan was also a moral victory, as they kept things close for the majority of that game before turnovers helped the Wolverines ice things late. This week, Fresno State is a heavy favorite to get to 2-1 on the season with their second win in a row.

For Fresno, finding some traction in the running game will be a huge factor in their quest to get above the .500 mark for the first time this year. The Bulldogs' leading rusher through two games is Malik Sherrod, who has just 78 rushing yards on 36 carries, which is barely over two yards per carry. A more efficient showing from Sherrod and the running game of Fresno State will be essential for them to assert their dominance in this matchup.

New Mexico State vs Fresno State Best Bet

Fresno State is the better team here and should win this New Mexico State vs Fresno State matchup. But we will take the points with New Mexico State after they gave Liberty all they could handle in their Conference USA opener last week. Look for the Bulldogs to win this game by around two touchdowns but for NMSU to cover the point spread.
