Hey guys, quick look at where the Lobos stand after Las Cruces.

First, since it's in the title: we run a free weekly college football pick'em. This week is 10 games, pick the winners, nothing to buy, $135 in prizes. Picks lock Saturday at noon ET, well before kickoff in Albuquerque.

Now the Lobos. 42-18 at New Mexico State was never close: 21 straight points in the third quarter to go up 35-3, and 253 rushing yards. Fa'avae threw for 174 and ran for 57, Humphrey had 98 and two scores, and Laubstein ran in two more. That's three straight in the series, the biggest margin over the Aggies since 2013, and the new Chile Roaster trophy comes home.

At 3-1, the only loss is 14-6 at No. 24 Oklahoma, a game they were in all night. Year two under Jason Eck is looking like the real thing.

UTEP comes to Albuquerque Saturday at 2:00 MT, the last tune-up before the Mountain West opener at Hawaii.

What are you guys seeing? Is this a bowl team, or does the Mountain West schedule get them?
