The Rebels are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 meetings in San Jose State and 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings.

Don’t look now, but the UNLV Rebels are playing good winning football and their offense is top-30 in the country in scoring. The San Jose State Spartans are playing decent as well, and they went toe-to-toe with Auburn, but their offense has issues finishing drives and their defense has issues stopping the run. This line is a little confusing, as you can make a strong argument UNLV is the better team. I’ll grab the points with the Rebels, as I wouldn’t be shocked they win this game outright.
