The Syracuse Orange (3-1) travel to meet the No. 23 UNLV Rebels (4-0) Friday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Kickoff is scheduled for 9 p.m. (FS1). Below, we look at Syracuse vs. UNLV odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds before making our expert college football picks and predictions later in the week.
UNLV had a tumultuous week as starting QB Matthew Sluka announced he would redshirt and enter the transfer portal due to an apparent NIL dispute, while RB Michael Allen also opted to transfer.
The Rebels throttled Fresno State 59-14 Saturday, easily covering as 2.5-point home favorites and hitting the Over (51) by themselves. QB Hajj-Malik Williams threw for 182 yards and 3 TDs, while running for 119 yards and a score on 12 carries — as they missed Sluka very little.
Syracuse bounced back from a 26-24 home loss to Stanford Sept. 20 by posting a 42-14 win against FCS Holy Cross Saturday. The Orange failed to cover as 30.5-point home favorites, and they cashed an Under (59.5) for a 3rd consecutive outing.
