How many wins for the Lobos?
ESPN’s Football Power Index was recently released and that gives us a whole slew of numbers to pore over and try to figure things out for the upcoming season.
The FPI does give out a very precise win and loss totals and they put New Mexico at 3.1 wins for this season. Below we will go through and see how many games the Lobow are favored to win.
The FPI also goes deeper with percentages to win the division and conference. The Lobos are given a zero percent chance to win the division or conference. New Mexico is given just a 4.1% chance to get to six wins and bowl eligibility.
New Mexico’s initial FPI number is 108.
