Pick Dawgz's Prediction For UNLV Runnin' Rebels @ Wyoming Cowboys

"In this UNLV vs Wyoming Prediction, Wyoming is coming as -3.5 home favorites. Wyoming has been the better team this season, with a better overall record and has been almost perfect at home, with just one loss in 9 home games. They are just 1-2 in their last 3 games and 0-3 against the spread, while on the flip side, UNLV is 4-1 in its last 5. Wyoming has been better both offensively and defensively this season, but given both teams’ recent form, I like the value with the road dog in this matchup. Take UNLV and get the +3.5 points."

We don't get an exact score here, but they are rolling with UNLV getting 3.5 points. This game should be an extremely close and hard-fought game. Because this game is on the road, we do give a slight edge to the Cowboys in this one, but it's good to see that there are experts who believe in UNLV. Tonight's game can go either way, and we can't wait to watch it.
