The UNLV Rebels Look Posied To Knock Off The Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors On Friday Night

The UNLV Rebels football team is looking to win their third game in a row after knocking off the Colorado State Rams and Utah State Aggies to bounce back from a two-game losing streak. This week, they will be tasked with knocking off the Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors on their home field of Allegiant Stadium. This is a game that can truly go either way. The predictions we've been covering this week put that fact on full display. We have seen the predictions nearly split this week between the two teams; however, Guy Bruhn of Doc's Sports Service has his money on the Rebels.

Guy's Pick: Take the Rebels -3.0"

They have UNLV winning and winning by more than three points. That's what we like to see. While this should be a great game, the Rebels should be able to win in Las Vegas. Our official UNLV Rebels On SI prediction won't be out until later this week, but we are pretty confident we'll have the Rebels coming out on the winning end of this game.
