Portland comes to Albuquerque to play the UNM Lobos tonight. The Lobos are 2-0 on the season but those victories came against San Francisco State and New Mexico Highlands, both division II teams. The Pilots come into tonights game 2-1 and won their last two games at Oregon State and Long Beach State.
The Lobos have 4 games in the next 8 days and play in state rival New Mexico State on Wednesday. This is also the last week of practice before redshirt transfers Danny Granger and Troy DeVries can play. I think all this will distract the Lobos who were picked to finish next to last in the MWC.
My only concern with this game is that from what I can tell Portland likes to play an up temp game and the altitude could get to them down the stretch.
The Lobos should win a tight game, but I'll take Portland and the points.
Portland +8.5
