New Mexico Bowl

Dec. 22, 2007

4:30 p.m. EST, Albuquerque, N.M., ESPN

Prediction: New Mexico State vs. Wyoming

Mountain West vs. WAC

Analysis:

As long as New Mexico State finishes with a winning record, they figure to get the bid to the New Mexico Bowl from the WAC in what will amount to somewhat of a home game. With Chase Holbrook running the show as long as the Aggies show any bit of defense, they should have a winning season.

If New Mexico can't beat UTEP, they don't figure to be much of a factor in the Mountain West race. On the other hand, Wyoming really showed their teeth on Saturday in a win over a BCS conference in Virginia. Karsten Sween could be the best quarterback in the Mountain West.
