Two of college football's more surprising postseason teams clash in Monday's Quick Lane Bowl as the New Mexico State Aggies take on the Bowling Green Falcons. The Falcons are the favorites, but can the Aggies pull off an upset? Read on for our top New Mexico State-Bowling Green pick.
The Aggies seek their first postseason win since the 1960 Sun Bowl. It's only the second time in 62 years that New Mexico State's program went bowling. A win over in-state rival New Mexico kicked off a stretch that saw the Aggies win five of their final six to become bowl-eligible in head coach Jerry Kill's first season.
Bowling Green also surpassed expectations and now finds itself in the postseason for the first time since 2015. Despite losing two of their final three games in lopsided fashion, the Falcons are betting favorites in their bowl matchup.
