The article predicts that the upcoming football game between New Mexico State (NMSU) and Florida International (FIU) will see low scoring due to both teams' poor offensive performances and FIU’s strong defense. NMSU, despite a recent win over Western Kentucky, ranks 112th in offensive efficiency metrics. Meanwhile, FIU has the fifth-best defensive rating among Group of 6 schools but struggles offensively, ranking 119th nationally. The author recommends betting on the under (46.5 points) due to these factors.

Story summary
New Mexico State has had a fluctuating start to their season, facing Florida State, beating Mercyhurst, and losing to Hawaii and New Mexico. However, they recently won against Western Kentucky, boosting morale but not improving their overall offensive ranking at 112th in SP+. They have scored over 20 points only once in four FBS games.
For the upcoming game on Wednesday at Pitbull Stadium, Florida International (FIU) is favored by -6.5 points after opening as a 3.5-point favorite. FIU's defense ranks highly among Group of Five teams and will likely challenge New Mexico State’s low-scoring offense further. Additionally, FIU plans to wear their special "Pink Panthers" Miami Vice-themed uniforms for the match, promising an aesthetically pleasing game despite potentially unexciting football action due to expected low scoring from both sides.
