Western Kentucky vs. New Mexico State betting preview: Odds, picks, predictions for college football Week 5

Week 5 of college football action begins Thursday night with a Conference USA matchup between the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers and the New Mexico State Aggies. Both programs enter the contest with identical 1-3 records after securing matching blowout victories over Mercyhurst last week.

DraftKings has installed the host Aggies as 2.5-point favorites with an over/under set at 55.5 total points. Western Kentucky comes into conference play following a tough early schedule that featured matchups against Georgia and Indiana, while New Mexico State looks to build momentum at home after earlier defeats against Florida State, Hawaii, and New Mexico.

Quarterback Rodney Tisdale Jr. directs the Hilltoppers offense after a strong four-touchdown performance last Saturday.
