Doc's Sports Service's Prediction For Utah State Aggies @ UNLV Rebels

"Who will win tonight's Aggies/Rebels college football game against the spread?

Guy's Pick: Take the Aggies +4.5"

We haven't done our official prediction for this week yet, but we do expect this to be a close game. The Aggies are a good team, and it's going to be a tough game for the Rebels. Because this prediction is against the spread, we don't get an exact score prediction. While we aren't sure if our prediction will have this game within five points, there is a decent chance that we do, or it's not far off. You'll have to come back to UNLV Rebels On SI on Friday to find out.
