UNLV vs Northern Arizona Prediction
In this UNLV vs Northern Arizona Prediction, UNLV is coming as -21.5 road favorites. UNLV is projected as #93 for the upcoming College Basketball Season. The Rebels are looking to use their athleticism and improved roster depth for a better placement the Mountain West, as they will also look to improve a bad defense from last season, that ranked outside the top-300 of the country. On the flip side, Northern Arizona is projected as #320 for the upcoming College Basketball Season. The Lumberjacks have added size and versatility to support a faster style of play, but their inexperienced group of centers is a big question mark starting the new season. Northern Arizona’s 9-7 home record does not inspire much hope when facing a much better UNLV team and they finished last season with five consecutive losses and 0-4 ATS record in their last 4. I like the value with the road team in this matchup, so take UNLV and lay the points on the road.
