The Colorado State Rams will try to run their winning streak over the New Mexico Lobos to 10 when the Mountain West Conference teams square off on Friday night at Dreamstyle Stadium in Albuquerque, N.M. Colorado State (1-5, 0-2 in Mountain West) has not lost to the Lobos since November 2009. The nine-game winning streak is the program's longest active winning streak over an FBS opponent. A 10th straight victory over New Mexico would also end the Rams' seven-game conference losing streak. Like Colorado State, the Lobos (2-3, 0-1) are seeking their first Mountain West win this season. Kickoff is 8 p.m. ET. The Rams are 3.5-point favorites in the latest Colorado State vs. New Mexico odds, while the over-under for total points scored is 66.5.
