UNLV Coming Off a Big Win
UNLV faced off against Boise State in the last game on the road and they sure looked good. UNLV gave up only 64 points to the Broncos and that was enough for four point victory. Rob Whaley Jr had a strong game putting up 18 points, six rebounds, and two assists. UNLV on the season is averaging 77.3 points while their defense is giving up 69.9 points per game.

UNLV vs Colorado State Betting Prediction
Colorado State got back on teh right track in the last game, but what the ydid two gaems ago is still a big concern for me. This UNLV offense is good averaging 77.3 points and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. The Colorado State defense isn’t going to have any answer, and that is going to be the difference here as UNLV is going to get the job done. Back UNLV against the spread.
