Prediction:
Fresno State doesn’t need to get too creative to beat UNLV. Look for the Bulldogs to keep it pretty basic and use their talented defense to win the field position battle. Even if Fresno State scores six touchdowns, the under could still hit if it ends at something like 42-17. While the Rebels have been giving up a lot of points lately, I don’t think they score enough here for the total to go over.
PREDICTION: FRESNO STATE/UNLV UNDER 60.5
