Observed win probability

New Mexico Lobos: latest 100.0% · ESPN estimates across observed plays.

Observed . Estimates can change; no probability is a promise.

Method

Only observed fields are shown.

Projections start with three current-season games or a prior-season rating; early-season estimates are excluded from picks.
