Sportsbook Wire's Prediction

"Prediction

UNLV 32, New Mexico 30"

Sportsbook Wire believes this is going to be a very tight game. They have this game pegged as just a two-point victory for the Rebels. That would be an outstanding showing for the Lobos on the road against one of the best teams in the Mountain West Conference. We do not expect this game to be quite this close, but it's not crazy to believe that New Mexico will be able to hang with the Rebels. If you want to know our official prediction, we will release it on Friday. We release our predictions every week, the day before game day.
