There is zero question as to the ugliest game on this Saturday's slate. It's Idaho at New Mexico State, in a clash that may well feature the two worst teams in the country. Both teams are beyond terrible, but someone has to win this. I think the Vandals have the edges necessary to squeeze out the ultra-rare road win. The Aggies have, not surprisingly, been horrible laying points and this year's team has a new staff, new schemes, a new QB and a defensive front with all new starters. Idaho is brutal, but the Vandals figure to have a little more continuity out of the gate as the key people in place are returnees. I expect both teams to keep it conservative with lots of running, so this will likely be decided in the trenches. Probably a close game, but enough of an edge on the road team's side to call on Idaho to emerge victorious.
