<\/p>\nWith New Mexico State refocusing on its ground attack, Logan Fife won\u2019t be asked to air it out as often as he did earlier in the season. Missouri State\u2019s deliberate pace should also limit Fife\u2019s total passing opportunities.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m targeting NMSU quarterback Logan Fife\u2019s passing yardage prop with my Missouri State vs. New Mexico State predictions and college football picks<\/a> for Wednesday, October 22.<\/p>\n Want to make sure Covers shows up often in your Google search results and Discover feed? Missouri State vs New Mexico State prediction<\/p>\n Missouri State vs New Mexico State best bet: Logan Fife Under 263.5 passing yards (-114)<\/p>\n One storyline from the New Mexico State Aggies<\/a>\u2019 last two games is the emergence of the running game. After posting an abysmal 39.5 rushing yards per game in their first four contests (which drops to 26.7 if you exclude the FCS game), the Aggies have accumulated 241 yards and three scores on the ground in their first two conference games.\u00a0<\/p>\n The offense erred extremely pass-happy to start the year, but that should balance out now that running back Kadarius Calloway and the ground game have gotten going. That leads us to quarterback Logan Fife<\/a>\u2019s passing yardage prop, which is set at 263.5.<\/p>\n This line is high for two reasons \u2014 NMSU has a high pass rate (58.1%), and the Missouri State Bears<\/a> grade out poorly against the pass (121st in EPA per pass, 125th in passing success rate allowed). I\u2019ve explained the former, and the latter is inflated due to matchups against USC (second in EPA per pass), SMU (24th), and Western Kentucky (seventh in pass rate).\u00a0<\/p>\n The Bears have been effective otherwise. Fife has gone Under this number in five of his six outings, so here\u2019s betting on another.<\/p>\n Missouri State vs New Mexico State same-game parlay<\/p>\n I also fancy Fife\u2019s passing yardage Under because Missouri State plays at a snail\u2019s pace, posting the fewest snaps per minute of any team in the country. That should also lead to a lower-scoring game against a defensively stout NMSU team (26th in EPA per play) that labors on offense (119th).<\/p>\n The Aggies dominated Sam Houston (37-10) and outgained Liberty (+95 in total yardage) in CUSA play, whereas Missouri State was outgained by Western Kentucky (-62) and lowly Middle Tennessee State (-5). Give me the Aggies at home.<\/p>\n Missouri State vs New Mexico State SGP<\/p>\n Logan Fife Under 263.5 passing yards Our deep-ball SGP: It’s all Aggies<\/p>\n Donovan Faupel has double the targets (45) of any other NMSU wide receiver and has found the end zone twice this season, so his anytime touchdown prop correlates nicely with an Aggies cover.<\/p>\n Missouri State vs New Mexico State SGP<\/p>\n Logan Fife Under 263.5 passing yards Missouri State vs New Mexico State game predictions New Mexico State will win this game at home, as it’s been the more impressive squad since C-USA play began.<\/p>\n Missouri State vs New Mexico State spread prediction<\/p>\n New Mexico State will cover the spread against a Missouri State team with a poor defense (128th in EPA per play) and an offense that struggles to move the ball consistently (117th in success rate).<\/p>\n Missouri State vs New Mexico State Over\/Under prediction<\/p>\n These are two of the worst blocking teams in the country (both rank bottom two in stuff rate), and Missouri State plays at the slowest pace in the country, so this game will stay Under the total.<\/p>\n Missouri State vs New Mexico State odds<\/p>\n Spread: Missouri State -1.5 | New Mexico State +1.5 Missouri State vs New Mexico State trend to know<\/p>\n Logan Fife has thrown for fewer than 263.5 passing yards in five of six games.
