New Mexico State vs Tennessee Prediction
Now we have the New Mexico State vs Tennessee Prediction for both teams.
This Week 12 matchup between the New Mexico State Aggies and the Tennessee Volunteers offers one of the most lopsided statistical showdowns of the weekend. Tennessee enters this game as a heavy favorite, boasting one of the most explosive offenses in the nation, while New Mexico State continues to struggle on both sides of the ball. The Aggies are just 1-6 in their last seven games and have won only once in their previous 11 road contests. Their offensive output—averaging barely 21 points per game—will be severely tested by a Tennessee defense that, while inconsistent, thrives at home. The Volunteers, on the other hand, have been dominant in Neyland Stadium, posting a 17-3 record against the spread in their last 20 home games. With Tennessee’s fast-paced offense and their tendency to hit the OVER in most contests (11 of their last 13 games), this game could quickly get out of hand for the visiting Aggies. While New Mexico State has shown grit against the spread in November, they’ll be outmatched by an SEC powerhouse looking to rebound from recent conference losses and finish the season strong.
For New Mexico State, this game represents more of a test of resilience than a realistic chance at an upset. The Aggies’ offense has been inconsistent, averaging only 4.61 yards per play, one of the lowest marks in the FBS, and ranking 136th in rushing yards per game. Quarterback play has been hit or miss—while they’re completing over 20 passes per game, they’re not getting enough chunk plays or protection in the pocket, allowing 3 sacks per outing. Their offense relies heavily on the passing game since their ground attack averages a mere 2.39 yards per rush, making them one-dimensional against aggressive defenses. Defensively, New Mexico State has been slightly better, allowing 25.2 points per game, but that number could balloon against Tennessee’s aerial assault. The Aggies will likely struggle to contain Tennessee’s tempo and could find themselves trailing early. Historically, they’ve struggled badly against Power 5 competition—going 1-19 in their last 20 games against SEC teams—and given their recent form, the best-case scenario might be covering the spread late if Tennessee rotates in backups during the second half.
Tennessee, meanwhile, will look to use this matchup as a tune-up game and a chance to regain confidence offensively after tough recent losses to Oklahoma and Alabama. The Volunteers’ offense has been dynamic all season, ranking third nationally in points per game (43.6) and second in passing yards (329.3). Their uptempo style and aggressive downfield passing attack have punished weaker defenses, and New Mexico State’s secondary—ranked 108th against the pass—is exactly the kind of opponent Tennessee can exploit. Expect quarterback play to shine here, with the Volunteers spreading the field and using both their air attack and balanced ground game (174.7 rushing yards per game) to wear down the Aggies. While Tennessee has been shaky against the spread lately (1-5 ATS in their last six), they are historically dominant at home, and their high-scoring offense should easily outpace an Aggies team struggling to move the ball. With Tennessee’s depth, home-field advantage, and offensive firepower, this matchup looks like a blowout waiting to happen.
