Last Wednesday, New Mexico State's game was all tied up 14-14 at the half, but luckily for them it didn't stay that way. They strolled past FIU with points to spare, taking the game 34-17.

Diego Pavia was his usual excellent self, throwing for 256 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 46 yards. Monte Watkins was another key contributor, rushing for 89 yards on only five carries.

The win got New Mexico State back to even at 3-3. Sam Houston's loss on Thursday was their third straight on the road, which dropped their overall record down to 0-5.

While only New Mexico State took care of their fans the last time they played, both teams pleased bettors by covering the spread. Looking forward to Wednesday, they are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by four points. This contest will be Sam Houston's sixth straight as the underdogs (so far over this stretch they are 3-2 against the spread).

Here's a few offensive stats to keep an eye on ahead of Wednesday' contest: The Aggies have been unstoppable on the ground this season, having averaged 198.7 rushing yards per game. It's a different story for the Bearkats, though, as they've been averaging only 66.8 per game. Given New Mexico State's sizeable advantage in that area, Sam Houston will need to limit their effectiveness.
