Idaho State Bengals @ New Mexico Lobos Preview

The New Mexico Lobos return home to Albuquerque looking to bounce back after a challenging season opener against the No. 14 Michigan Wolverines. Despite a 34-17 loss, the Lobos showed flashes of potential, particularly with a clever trick play resulting in a touchdown. Quarterback Jack Layne finished the game against Michigan with 208 passing yards, completing 31 of 47 attempts, but also threw three interceptions. The rushing attack struggled to gain traction, managing only 50 yards on 28 carries. However, tight end Dorian Thomas emerged as a key target, hauling in 10 catches for 71 yards and two touchdowns. On the defensive side, New Mexico allowed 452 total yards to Michigan. This home opener against the Idaho State Bengals presents an opportunity for the Lobos to refine their offensive execution and establish a stronger presence on both sides of the ball against a less formidable opponent.

Top Player Prop Picks

Jack Layne (New Mexico Lobos QB) - Over Passing Yards

New Mexico quarterback Jack Layne, despite throwing three interceptions against a stout Michigan defense, still managed to accumulate 208 passing yards. Facing the Idaho State Bengals at home, Layne should find more favorable conditions to air out the ball and improve his efficiency. The Lobos will likely aim to establish their passing game early, and with a less challenging defensive matchup, Layne is poised to exceed his previous yardage total.

Dorian Thomas (New Mexico Lobos TE) - Over Receiving Touchdowns

Tight end Dorian Thomas was a standout performer for the Lobos against Michigan, recording an impressive 10 receptions for 71 yards and two touchdowns. His ability to find the end zone against a top-tier defense highlights his role as a primary red-zone threat. Against Idaho State, Thomas is expected to continue being a focal point of the passing attack, making him a strong candidate to score at least one touchdown.

S. Humphrey (New Mexico Lobos RB) - Over Rushing Yards

While the New Mexico rushing attack collectively struggled against Michigan, gaining only 50 yards, S. Humphrey led the team with 33 yards on 10 carries. As the Lobos return home and face a less imposing defense in Idaho State, they will undoubtedly prioritize establishing a more effective ground game. Humphrey, as the leading rusher from their last outing, is in a prime position to see an increased workload and surpass his previous rushing yardage total.
