In a historic turn of events, the college football powers that be have decided to give a team their very own bowl game. The Lobos of New Mexico (8-4) will be enjoying home field advantage over WAC opponent Nevada (6-6) come Saturday afternoon.The Wolf Pack lost their first game of the year to Nebraska 52-10. Remember that? Anyway, I won't expect a blowout of epic proportion that Nevada suffered in Lincoln. Nevada has a great running attack and it should make for an interesting match up because of New Mexico's defense which was near the top in the Mountain West Conference.
The difference will come with the absence of the Lobo's star running back Rodney Ferguson. Ferguson rushed for over 1100 yards and crossed the goal line 14 times this season. Ferguson will be missed on his suspension and it will cost his team the game.
Pick: Nevada 25 - New Mexico 17
