The Broncos quest to run the table continues Friday, and they will be a huge road favorite at New Mexico.

This comes after their offense managed just 21 points at home to Utah State last Saturday. New Mexico won both it’s home games so far, totaling an impressive 96 points in those games, albeit against weak opposition. The Lobos did score 49 points, covering the spread in their last home game against the Broncos. New Mexico ranks second nationally averaging 347 rushing yards per game.
