Randy’s Pick

The Air Force Falcons are getting the benefit of the doubt because they're at home and what they've done all season, but their offense has fallen off a cliff these last two games. Also, let's give some respect to what UNLV has done all year, a balanced attack with a top-20 scoring offense and a side that's proven it can win on the road. This is sure to be a hard fought game between two of the best teams in the MWC. I want points in my pocket. Give me UNLV.
