Colorado State vs New Mexico Prediction
Now we have the Colorado State vs New Mexico Prediction for both teams.
The Week 12 Mountain West showdown between the Colorado State Rams and the New Mexico Lobos brings together two teams trending in opposite directions. Colorado State enters this matchup struggling to find consistency, while New Mexico has shown life down the stretch with several strong performances in recent weeks. The Rams’ offense has been a major concern, ranking among the bottom 10 nationally in both scoring and total production. Their inability to move the ball efficiently through the air or on the ground has made it tough to sustain drives, often leaving their defense on the field far too long. On the other hand, New Mexico has quietly been one of the more improved teams in the Mountain West, posting solid wins over UNLV, UTSA, and UCLA this season. The Lobos are also playing with confidence at home, where they’ve covered the spread in five straight contests. Historically, this series has been one-sided in favor of Colorado State, which has won ten straight meetings. However, with the way these teams are performing right now, this game could mark a turning point in the rivalry, especially considering New Mexico’s recent offensive surge and improved home-field advantage.
For Colorado State, the numbers tell a story of missed opportunities and offensive frustration. The Rams average just 18.1 points per game, ranking 125th nationally, and their offensive efficiency has been abysmal, producing only 5.07 yards per play. The passing attack, which was expected to be a strength, has sputtered to just 187.7 yards per game, while the running game hasn’t fared much better at 137.2 yards per contest. Turnovers have been another issue — Colorado State is averaging over two giveaways per game — and their inability to protect the quarterback has led to stalled drives and limited scoring chances. Defensively, they’ve shown occasional promise, especially in pass coverage, but the unit’s lack of stamina due to poor offensive support has caused them to wear down late in games. The Rams have lost six of their last seven and have been dreadful against the spread, going 1-6 ATS during that stretch. Even with a recent history of dominance over New Mexico, Colorado State’s road woes (2-10 ATS in their last 12 away games) and lack of offensive firepower make them a risky play this week.
Meanwhile, New Mexico looks like a team peaking at the right time. The Lobos have won six of their last eight and have developed into one of the more balanced mid-tier offenses in the conference. They’re averaging 30.2 points per game, with an efficient mix of running and passing that has kept defenses guessing. Quarterback play has been solid, and their ground attack has been reliable, churning out 154 rushing yards per game. New Mexico’s defense has also made noticeable strides, holding opponents to 25.9 points per game and showing marked improvement in rush defense, where they rank 31st nationally. At home, the Lobos have been excellent against the number, covering in each of their last five games in Albuquerque. While their historical record versus Colorado State is dismal, this New Mexico team looks far more complete than in previous years. If they can protect the football and control time of possession, they have every chance to finally end their decade-long drought against the Rams.
