New Mexico Lobos on a Winning Streak Ready to Take Down Wyoming Cowboys

The New Mexico Lobos have demonstrated an impressive performance record by securing victory in six consecutive contests with an average winning margin of 20.8 points. In addition, they have successfully covered the spread in five of those six games. It is anticipated that the Lobos will continue their streak when they face off against the Cowboys. Wyoming's offense is notably lacking in strength to withstand New Mexico's robust defense, particularly given the Cowboys' high turnover rate of 19.2% in conference play. Furthermore, Wyoming heavily relies on 3-point shooting, where New Mexico excels in defending, holding the second-lowest opposing 3-point percentage in conference play at 30.7%. Nelly Junior Joseph is poised to dominate Wyoming in the paint, further solidifying the Lobos' advantage. Historically, New Mexico boasts a perfect 4-0 SU and ATS record in their previous meetings with Wyoming.
