The Nevada Wolf Pack (7 - 4, 5 - 2 CONF) are drawing a winnable road game this week against the hometown UNLV Rebels (3 - 8, 1 - 6 CONF). UNLV will be hosting this game at the Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, NV.

Nevada will be taking the field with a team that has won four-straight games. UNLV, on the other hand, has lost four of their past five games. Nevada will be heavily favored against UNLV in a game that could get out of hand quickly.
The Nevada Wolf Pack have been as consistent as anyone in the conference all season long. Nevada is scoring 33 PPG on offense this season while racking up a balanced 440 yards from scrimmage per game. QB Ty Gangi (2,836 yards, 21 TD,8 INT) has played exceptionally well this season and we like him to have another huge outing against UNLV. Nevada is surrendering just 28 PPG to opposing teams on defense.

The UNLV Rebels will be taking the field with a team that has been inconsistent in all facets of the game. UNLV is scoring just 28 PPG on offense while surrendering 38 PPG to opposing teams on defense. UNLV doesn't have enough defensive firepower to stop great passing teams and the Rebels can't really create offense at will like Nevada. UNLV will have to play a flawless game while leaning on running back Lexington Thomas (1,026 yards, 12 TDs).

This UNLV team has had tough season as injuries have derailed most of the season but Rebels have shot at upset over in state rival Nevada this week. Home underdog getting nearly two touchdowns looks like easy winner as UNLV is better than the record suggests. Final Score Prediction, Nevada Wolf Pack win but fall short ATS 30-27.
