It’s fair to say New Mexico has grown comfortable in the underdog role.
The Lobos past three wins against Utah State, Boise State and Air Force were all as double-digit underdogs. If UNM wants earn its first bowl victory since 2007, it will have to do it as the long shot once again.
At the Gildan New Mexico Bowl on Saturday, Arizona has been pegged as an 8-point favorite over UNM even with the game being playing at University Stadium.
Head coach Bob Davie said he never looks at the point spread of a game, but does agree that his team shouldn’t be favored.
