Our numbers suggest there's a good chance this game will have fewer points than that, with an expected combined total of about 48.3. The Seminoles have a strong defense that can limit the Aggies' scoring opportunities, which plays a big part in why we like this pick. However, it's important to note that both teams can surprise you with their offensive plays. If New Mexico State finds a way to connect on some big plays, it could make things interesting. Still, the overall matchup suggests a lower-scoring game, making under 53 a solid choice to consider. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.09 if it lands.
