UNLV vs Rutgers Prediction
In this UNLV vs Rutgers Prediction, UNLV is coming as -3 road favorites. Both teams are coming into this matchup in poor form, as they have lost their last two and three games respectively and both are 1-5 and 0-2 against the spread in their recent games. I don’t see value on either side but UNLV has been a profitable team to the over, having 171.3 average total points this season. Rutgers is also 4-2 to the over in its last 6 games, so I expect a high-scoring affair today. Take the over 154.5 points in this one.
