New Mexico State lost their top player Gabe Warren to a torn ACL just six minutes into their season opener, gutting their depth and perimeter threat. Gonzaga, ranked No. 15 and averaging 78 points at home, has a massive frontcourt advantage that the shorthanded Aggies simply cannot match. The Kennel is a fortress and the Zags have the talent and motivation to blow this game open early.

Everyone's writing off New Mexico State after losing Gabe Warren to a torn ACL, but DJ Dudley just dropped 22 and Lavrenov put up a double-double in their opener — this squad still has dogs who can compete! Gonzaga is favored by nearly 30 at home, but NMSU's guards like Dudley and Pickens can push the pace and keep this from becoming a blowout. The Aggies are battle-tested from a tough schedule and +29.5 is WAY too many points to give against a team that just showed it can fight — fade the public, ride the underdog!
