Game of the Day: Fresno State at New Mexico

Fresno State Bulldogs at New Mexico Lobos (+5, 71.5)

The Fresno State Bulldogs know exactly what to expect from the New Mexico Lobos on Friday night: a whole lot of running plays. The Lobos look to build on a spectacular rushing performance last week against New Mexico State as they entertain the Bulldogs in the Mountain West Conference opener for both teams. New Mexico earned its first victory of the season in style, racking up 432 yards on 52 carries to earn a thrilling 38-35 victory over the rival Aggies.

Fresno State finally got its act together following three straight one-sided losses, riding a pair of Brian Burrell touchdown passes and 117 rushing yards and a score from Marteze Waller to a 56-16 drubbing of Southern Utah. It was an impressive all-around performance for the Bulldogs, who had surrendered at least 50 points in each of their first three games. New Mexico will be seeking revenge after dropping a humiliating 69-28 decision to Fresno State last Nov. 23.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPN2

LINE HISTORY: The line has dropped one point after opening at New Mexico +6. The over/under has slipped two points to 71.

INJURY REPORT: Fresno State: WR Dillon Root (leg) is probable; DB Shannon Edwards (shoulder) is questionable; RB Malique Micenheimer (shoulder), RB Dontel James (leg) and RB Kurt Scoby (concussion) are out. New Mexico: WR Carlos Wiggins (hamstring), QB Cole Gautsche (hamstring), Teriyon Gipson (ankle) and QB Caleb Kimbro (knee) are questionable; DE Nik D'Avanzo (knee) is doubtful; OL Aaron Jenkins (shoulder), OT Johnny Vizcaino (concussion), LB Richard Winston (knee) and S Daniel Henry (shoulder) are out.

WEATHER: Rain is in the forecast for University Stadium with temperatures expected to be in the mid-80s.

COVERS POWER RANKINGS: Fresno State (+6.7) - New Mexico (+3.2) + home field (-3.0) = New Mexico -6.5

WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "After a 0-3 SU/ATS start to the season, Fresno State took their frustrations out on a weaker FCS Southern Utah team last Saturday with an easy 56-16 win. However, Fresno State was not impressive in their three FBS games this year, allowing 52, 59, and 55 points defensively each time. The Bulldogs are obviously down this season after losing six starters on offense, including QB Derek Carr. However, the defense did return eight starters and their top six tacklers from last season, so no excuse for the horrendous start this month. A huge line adjustment from last year's game when Fresno State was a -34.5 point favorite and won easily 69-28 with an incredible 822-316 total yard edge." Covers Expert Steve Merril

ABOUT FRESNO STATE (1-3 SU, 4-0 O/U): The Bulldogs meant business against Southern Utah, racking up 680 yards of total offense while scoring all of their points over the final three quarters. Five different Fresno State players have at least 100 receiving yards - led by Josh harper's 24 catches for 280 yards and a score - while Waller leads the ground attack with 294 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Burrell was one of the lone bright spots for the team over its first three games and has five touchdowns against just two interceptions so far in 2014.

ABOUT NEW MEXICO (1-2 SU, 2-1 O/U): The biggest problem for opposing teams is not knowing which Lobos rushing threat to contain. Quarterback Cole Gautsche (20 carries, 237 yards, two touchdowns) and running back Teriyon Gipson (35 carries, 194 yards, one TD) may miss the game with leg injuries, but Jhurrell Pressley (215 yards, two TDs) and Crusoe Gongbay (173 yards, two TDs) should be available to pick up the slack. New Mexico has attempted just 34 passes on the year, completing 20 of them for 264 yards and three scores.

TRENDS:

* Fresno State is 1-5 ATS in its last six games following an ATS win.
* New Mexico is 7-19 ATS in its last 26 September games.
* Over is 9-1 in the Lobos' last 10 games on grass.
* Favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.

Alouettes leaving offense in Montreal
Justin Hartling

The Montreal Alouettes has been nothing short of a disaster this season, but bettors have been able to find a positive in the teams mediocrity. The Als have had six road games so far this season and they have gone under the total in five of them.

The under trend is thanks to the Als lack of offense as the team has averaged 13 points per game on the road this season.

Montreal travels to Ottawa with the total currently set at 47.

CFL Betting Recap - Week 13
By Joe Williams

League Betting Notes

Favorites/underdogs went 2-2 straight up in Week 13
Underdogs went 4-0 ATS in Week 13
Home teams posted a 3-1 SU record in Week 13
Road teams posted a 3-1 ATS record in Week 13
The 'over/under' went 2-2 in Week 13

Team Betting Notes

The East Division has been much maligned this season, and rightly so if you review the standings. However, Week 13 saw the East go 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS against the West.

In perhaps the biggest stunner of the season thus far, Calgary (10-2) lost for just the second time in 12 games, snapping a six-game win streak in Montreal (4-8). It wasn't a fluke, either, as the Alouettes licked the Stamps 31-15.

Montreal's win against Calgary snapped a five-game losing streak against the West Division.

Ottawa (1-10) nearly joined Montreal in the upset club, taking Saskatchewan (9-3) to overtime before falling 35-32 to the Roughriders.

Hamilton (4-7) has off three consecutive home wins at Tim Hortons Field, and they are 4-2 SU/3-3 ATS in six home games this season.

Edmonton (8-4) has dropped three of their past four games after starting the season 7-1.

Toronto (4-8) snapped a four-game losing streak, avenging a loss to the BC Lions (7-5). The Argos have now covered three in a row.
