BYU opens as huge favorite over New Mexico State

With just one more win needed to secure bowl eligibility, BYU will welcome New Mexico State into Provo as heavy favorites.

Vegas released its initial line for the game and BYU opened as a 23-point favorite over the New Mexico State Aggies.

The Aggies are currently 3-7 and have two FBS wins on the year. Their best victory of the season is over 4-5 Liberty.

BYU was a 23.5-point favorite over McNeese State, and the line for this game could go above that before Saturday’s kickoff. Less than 20 minutes after the line was released, BYU already went up to a 23.
