UNLV vs Nevada Prediction
Nevada is favored because it’s at home, where eight of its 11 wins have come this season. However, you can make an argument that UNLV is the better team. Nevada is riding a three-game losing streak where the offense has been stuck in the mud. Nevada also lost to San Diego State in the favorite role at home. UNLV is a balanced team that has had some success on the road, and that includes beating a San Diego State team that Nevada lost to. Also, Nevada is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 games. That alone makes Nevada fade material. Give me UNLV and the points in what should be a tight game down the stretch.
