Prediction:
Fresno State has won its last two games in blowout fashion, but with tougher games ahead this could be a bit of a letdown. I’m certainly not saying UNLV will pull off the massive upset, but the Bulldogs could win by three touchdowns and still not cover the spread. On the road, I don’t know how up the Bulldogs will get for this contest against a lowly team. Take the Rebels to stay within the big number.
PREDICTION: UNLV REBELS +26
