Utah State Aggies vs UNLV Rebels prediction
The UNLV Rebels should be up for this game at home, and they’re good enough offensively to spring an upset. However, we’re getting a cheap line with a Utah State Aggies side that has lost just once this season and has covered three straight games. Utah State has also had a lot of success against UNLV in the past, which includes five straight wins. I’d need more to pull the trigger on the UNLV Rebels. Give me Utah State and the small chalk.
