Really like New Mexico to be up by double digits at half time here. First, overall New Mex is 8-2 at home while Cornell is 1-4 on the road. Second, New Mex has not trailed a home game at halftime yet this year, and they've been up by more than 8 in every game except two (there first two home games, over a month ago). These have been the halftime scores for New Mex's home games this year:
1/6 San Diego 44-25
12/29 Penn St. 42-33
12/28 NW St. 49-24
12/22 New Mex St. 39-19
12/21 Coppin St. 37-17
12/8 Sacramento 37-26
12/6 Texas Tech 32-29
12/2 Portland 34-29
On the other hand, Cornell has trailed at the half in 3 of their 5 road games:
12/31 Duquesne 38-30
12/29 St. Francis 32-35
12/20 Lafayette 37-45
12/7 New Hampshire 46-30
12/5 Vermont 14-33
All of these opponents are quite a bit inferior to New Mexico.
With a game line of 15.5, I'm worried about the back door being a factor, but think New Mex will be ahead comfortably at the break, so going with the 1H bet instead.
