New Mexico Lobos 2023 Future Odds
Lobos are a horrible 3-18-1 ATS last two seasons

The New Mexico Lobos finished the 2023 season 2-10, including all eight of the games inside the Mountain West Conference. It was the fifth straight losing season for the program and the second under head coach Danny Gonzalez who is heading into his third season in Albuquerque.
The Lobos last winning season was in 2016 when they finished 9-4. Since the program is 13-42 overall (5-34 MWC). Against the spread, New Mexico is 24-53-1 ATS over the last seven seasons, 4-19 ATS on the road.
They’ll need to improve on their 2-13 ATS mark as a home favorite before they can begin to make noise in the Mountain West Conference.

Lobos Set to Be One of The Worst in College Football
The New Mexico future odds are set as the worst in College Football for a reason, they will be lucky to win three games this season. For a team like the Lobos’, there isn’t a soft spot on their NCAAF schedule. We’ll dive into their schedule later but a quick look shows that they’ll likely be an underdog in every game this season except for a home date with New Mexico State.
Their winnable games will be against the Aggies, Hawaii at home, and maybe at Nevada at leading at the half in 2022 (13-10). They eventually lost 27-20, but they covered as a 17.5-point dog while playing their best game of the season.
Where to start with Gonzalez’s team, an offense that ranked 131st in College Football, averaging just 228.5 yards per game is a good way to start. If MWC opponents are getting a team that averages 13.1 points per game, bettors will be pounding their opposition as they have over the past seven years.
The Lobos will be relying on a defense that isn’t that bad, ranking 47th overall and 30th against the pass. An incredible feat considering they were on the field almost 31 minutes a game. It was the second straight season the defense was taking the majority of playing time.
Until the offense takes on more time of possession, the Lobos are a long way from competing for a .500 season. Until that happens, New Mexico will lean on cornerback Donte Martin, who talked about how he’s going to it that the Lobos have a winning season at the Mountain West Conference media days. We continue our New Mexico future odds preview by looking at the various betting options for the 2023 Lobos season.
National Championship Odds: Can’t Begin to Make A Case
For most teams, we can come up with some silly way that they could find themselves in the national championship conversation, but for a team that has NCAAF National Championship odds of +100000, we’re not even going to pretend that this is the season where the New Mexico Lobos and Georgia Bulldogs clash on January 9th. +100000 is tied with dozens of other teams that have no shot at winning, but the books throw up as many NCAAF future odds as possible for the few that way to put small money into their school.
In their history, the Lobos have never had better championship odds than +100000. Let’s look at the New Mexico conference odds to see if there is a betting option available.
Conference Odds: Lobos to Compete For Bottom Spot In MWC
It’s going to be a big battle for the bottom of the Mountain West Conference when the Hawaii Rainbows come to the mainland to take on the Lobos, on October 21st. Both teams are expected to be among the worst teams in College Football. New Mexico is +10000 to win the conference title, an upgrade from last season’s +20000. Boise State (+170) is the class of the Conference with Air Force (+400) and Fresno State (+380) right behind.
Regular Season Wins: The Only Future Wager Worth Betting
New Mexico won’t be on the winning side of many NCAAF scores in 2023, making the only intelligent way to bet on the Lobos this season under their projected win total of 3.5. (-120). Last year, New Mexico’s projected season win total was 3 (under -120), we’re not sure where the increased confidence is coming from but it would be a hard sell to find four wins on this year’s schedule.
Let’s get crazy and pencil in wins against New Mexico State, UMass, and Hawaii. We just can’t pull the trigger on a fourth win. That does it for our New Mexico Future Odds preview, we wish you nothing but the best with your wagers this season.
