College basketball picks for New Mexico vs. San Diego State

Before tuning into the San Diego State vs. New Mexico game, you need to see the college basketball picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. It entered Week 10 of the 2023-24 season on a 105-69 roll on all top-rated college basketball picks dating back to last season, returning more than $2,000 for $100 players. It is also off to a 12-5 start on top-rated spread picks this season. Anyone following has seen huge returns. 

For New Mexico vs. San Diego State, the model projects that the Lobos cover the spread as 3.5-point home favorites. New Mexico might have two losses in its last three games, but both of those setbacks came against tough opponents on the road. The Lobos have not lost a home game so far this season, beating Wyoming by 17 points last Saturday. Sophomore guard Donovan Dent led four starters in double figures with 21 points, knocking down 9 of 16 attempts from the floor. 

Senior center Nelly Junior Joseph nearly posted a double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds, while senior guard Jaelen House finished with 10 points, five assists and four rebounds. Senior guard Jamal Mashburn Jr., who missed more than a month of action from the end of November to the end of December, leads the team with 16.2 points per game. Dent (15.7), House (14.7) and JT Toppin (12.5) are all scoring in double figures as well. 

Both of San Diego State's losses have come on the road, including a setback against Grand Canyon last month as a 2-point road favorite. The Aztecs have now covered the spread in just one of their last eight road games, and they are 1-4 against the spread in their last five trips to New Mexico. Those trends are part of the reason why SportsLine's model has New Mexico covering the spread in over 50% of the latest simulations. Stream the game here.
