NEW MEXICO (+1 ½) 64 Utah 61
Utah has won 18 games in a row, but this is the Utes toughest test since their last defeat at Arizona on December 11th. Utah beat New Mexico 69-58 at home, but Lobos apply to a very good 56-15-3 ATS home revenge situation that has won 8 straight times going back to last season. However, New Mexico isn’t quite as good without pointguard Kris Collins and Utah is playing at a very high level. My ratings favor the Utes by 3 ½ points and the negative line value is too much to make New Mexico a Best Bet. However, the Lobos still have a profitable 56% chance of covering at the current line of +1 ½ points, which is good enough to make them an opinion.
