Sports Chat Place's Prediction

"I’ll probably just stay with UNLV. The Rebels faltered in the second half of their latest appearance versus UCLA, but to their credit UNLV pulled out the gutsy win. It was a sloppy outing with the Rebels accounting for 13 of the game’s 27 total penalties, but the defense held strong in the end. UNLV gave up just 3-of-13 on third-down tries and had a couple of takeaways that helped tilt the game in their favor. The offense was pretty well-rounded overall despite going cold for a while, notching 351 total yards (203 passing) and 6.6 yards per play.

As for Miami-OH, they’ve had a couple of tough matchups so far this year and haven’t been able to really show their stuff. The RedHawks got eaten up by the Rutgers offense in their last game, surrendering 421 total yards, 31 first downs and a whopping 39:06 in time of possession. The offense wasn’t bad; they just never had the ball. In any case, this weekend’s matchup shouldn’t be as lopsided. That said, I still like the Rebels to power one out."

While we won't be making our official prediction until the end of the week, we can't argue with either of these takes. The UNLV offense should be too much for the RedHawks to overcome. They have not yet failed to score 30 points in a game. The defense has also gotten better with each game that they've played. This should be another win for the Rebels before kicking off Mountain West Conference play.
