College Football Early Line Movement Week 0: Montana State vs. New Mexico

Montana State vs. New Mexico

Montana State is a non-FBS team traveling to face New Mexico for Saturday’s second game. The Bobcats are still sizable favorites despite playing an FBS school on the road, going from -9.5 to -10 on the point spread. The game total is currently at 53.5.

The Lobos lost four of their last five games in 2023, finishing the season 4-8. Meanwhile, the Bobcats wound up 8-4 playing in the Big Sky conference last year, which is why they are currently a ten-point betting favorite. The line has moved in favor of Montana State, who won all eight games by at least 12 points or more in 2023.

Despite playing a Mountain West opponent on the road, backing the Bobcats to cover the point spread at -10 is the best bet in this matchup.

Best Bet: Montana State -10 (-110)
