It's been a phenomenal start to the season for the Lobos, whose only loss came in Week 3 at Oklahoma. New Mexico has found ways to put the pedal to metal against inferior opponents, and make plays when it matters most in closer game against stronger teams.
With that said, the Lobos have won their last two games by an identical 21-16 score, which might mean that a team that catches them on the right day could beat them if the ball bounces their way. Nevada is hoping to be the team that knocks them off the ledge.

New Mexico vs. Nevada prediction, pick:
If the Wolf Pack are going to topple the Lobos, it likely
will have to be through the air. New Mexico has allowed the fewest rushing yards per game of any Mountain West team, and it isn't close. Granted, teams have had to throw on them to catch up in lopsided contests, but New Mexico has also played their fair share of close games.
Unfortunately for Nevada, quarterback has been a revolving door of inconsistency this season. The Wolf Pack have had three different players throw passes for them in consecutive games, and as the old adage goes, if you have multiple quarterbacks, you actually have none.
Short of a special teams clinic or a bevy of turnovers on the part of New Mexico, it feels like Nevada has too many things to overcome right now.
Prediction: New Mexico 26, Nevada 10
