Sam Houston State vs. New Mexico State Prediction

This Sam Houston State offense is abysmal. The Bearkats rank 124th in offensive success rate, 128th in EPA/pass and 136th in EPA/rush. They also play slow, averaging just under 70 offensive snaps per game.

This New Mexico State offense is equally as anemic. The Aggies rank 115th in EPA/pass and 109th in offensive success rate.

This lack of offensive power will surely be exacerbated by their respective defenses. Sam Houston's defense ranks 14th in EPA/pass allowed and 35th in defensive success.

NM State ranks 26th in EPA/rush, solidifying both team's lack of offensive prowess and defensive strengths. I expect a low scoring mid-week affair.
