New Mexico Expected to Prevail Over Wyoming Despite Agbim's Availability

I am confident in selecting New Mexico regardless of Obi Agbim's availability. If Agbim is unable to play, I believe the Lobos will have a significant advantage over the Cowboys. Wyoming has a solid defense, but New Mexico's offense is expected to outperform them. Additionally, Wyoming has struggled with turnovers, ranking 338th in the nation with a turnover percentage of 21.2%. In contrast, New Mexico excels in aggressive defense and ranks 47th in the country in defensive turnover percentage at 21.0%. New Mexico has a strong track record against Wyoming, with a 3-0 record both straight up and against the spread in their last three matchups. Therefore, I anticipate the Lobos will continue their winning streak and emerge victorious.
