In this UCLA vs UNLV Prediction, UCLA is coming in as -2.5-point road favorites, with the total set at 55 points. Both teams are coming off opposite outcomes in their previous games, with UNLV having won both games this season. UCLA looked terrible in their season opener, scoring just 10 points and losing by 33, and I cannot trust them as road favorites in this spot. They were mediocre on the road last season, with a 3-3 road record and 6-6 against the spread, while UNLV was strong at home, with a 5-2 home record and 7-5 against the spread. I like the Rebels in this spot as home dogs, so give me the UNLV Rebels and the plus points in this one.
