Betting on New Mexico Basketball: A Smart Play or Longshot?

• There are +5000 odds for New Mexico to win March Madness.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The New Mexico Lobos are one of the hottest teams in all of college basketball this season. They are coming off of one of their third straight 20+ win season and second straight season of 25+ wins.

There aren’t many high hopes for the Lobos on legal sports betting sites as their odds are currently being offered at +30000 to win the tournament and +8000 to make it to the Final Four.

The Lobos should be treated as true contenders in the tournament and could very well be this year’s “Cinderella” team based on how far they make it. They are averaging a Mountain West leading 82.2 ppg on the season which is also good for a top-10 offense in the country. They also have the second-best winning margin in the conference at +10.9 points on average.

New Mexico doesn’t have much tournament experience with just one berth over the last 10 seasons which came last season and they were eliminated in the first round.

They have a chance to bolster their tournament resume even more throughout the Mountain West Tournament where they are favored to win.

Online sports betting in New Mexico is limited to being on property at one of the casinos to be able to do so. However, other international New Mexico online sportsbooks are available in the state and each of which have odds on the Lobos during March Madness.
