Moneyline: Bowling Green -161 | New Mexico State +125
Spread consensus pick: Bowling Green -3
FPI prediction: Bowling Green boasts the narrow 52.0 percent chance to win the game, compared with New Mexico State's 47.9 percent edge, according to the Football Power Index computer prediction model that picks winners by simulating teams' seasons 20,000 times.
College Football HQ prediction: Neither of these defenses is particularly great, but they do each have individual pieces who can get behind the line of scrimmage and create negative plays. That should keep the point total relatively low, but the Falcons have potential at quarterback in Matt McDonald, who hits almost 240 yards per game with a respectable 22/8 TD-INT ratio. The pick: Bowling Green wins 27-20 (BGSU -3, Under 48.5)
