Doc's Sports Service's Prediction For UNLV Runnin' Rebels @ Fresno State Bulldogs

"Guy Bruhn's Pick: Take UNLV"

It's good to see the experts and analysts starting to side with UNLV in this game because that hasn't been the case for the past few games, and they've now lost three in a row. While we don't get an exact score, they do pick UNLV with what we expect to be a very close spread on all sportsbooks. While the Rebels have proven they can lose to anybody, this is a game that should be there's for the taking if they just show up and play like they have proven they can multiple times this season. They are the better team; now they just need to show that on the court.
