I think it speaks volumes that the Aggies are favored on the road in this spot while UNLV has had some real issues not just covering numbers at home, but sometimes having issues just getting the win period on their home floor. I just feel like the Aggies are the more trustworthy team right now so give me the Aggies in this one.
