Against the spread

Even though the Falcons have struggled recently, AIR FORCE +8.5 (-110) is the pick here. The Falcons are 7-4 ATS on the road, which is the 2nd-best mark in the Mountain West conference.

The underdog is also 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings between these programs.

Over/Under

UNDER 136.5 (-105) is how I’d bet the total with how these teams have performed recently. These teams allow a combined 136.7 points per game and Air Force averages only 65.2 possessions per game (10th fewest in the nation).

Dayton at UNLV odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Dayton at UNLV odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 23 Dayton Flyers (2-0) and UNLV Rebels (2-0) tangle Tuesday in Las Vegas. The opening tip at Thomas & Mack Center will be at 11 p.m. ET (CBSSN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Dayton vs. UNLV odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll.

Dayton had a little trouble late in its Friday game against SMU. The Mustangs pulled level with the Flyers (59-59) by the 5:04-mark of the 2nd half, but UD finished the game on a 15-3 run to cover an 11-point spread in a 74-62 triumph. Six-foot-10 F DaRon Holmes tallied 20 to lead the Flyers.

The Rebels are 0-2 against the spread, having played a couple of games more worthy of bigger routs than they cranked out. That’s despite the Rebels being the beneficiary of a combined 51 turnovers in their wins over Southern (66-56, Nov. 7) and Incarnate Word (88-63 Saturday).

Dayton at UNLV picks and predictions

Prediction

Dayton 69, UNLV 63

Moneyline

Dayton is the more balanced team and figures to be more up for this talent level than UNLV at this early stage.

Consider a line watch here: Dayton is a solid near-2/3 proposition. Wanting some wiggle room for profit, we would want a Flyers -180 tag, or better.

PASS — but keep an eye on the Dayton price.

Against the spread

I peg Dayton as going 4-3 ATS in 7 comparable games last season. A couple of the losses, however, were pocked with outlier shooting results. This team returns a ton of talent — many freshmen from a year ago — and is a program on the rise.

Edges on the boards and in field-goal defense figure to get the Flyers by with a cushion of 2 full scores. BACK DAYTON -4.5 (-105).

Over/Under

No leeway, and no sense in forcing a play here. PASS.

UNLV at Notre Dame odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UNLV at Notre Dame odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The UNLV Rebels (4-3) and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (3-3) meet Saturday at Notre Dame Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET (Peacock). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the UNLV vs. Notre Dame odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

UNLV was sailing along with a 4-1 SU/ATS through its first 5 games, including a nice 58-27 win over North Texas, unbeaten in Conference USA play, back on Sept. 17. However, the Rebels have been outscored 82-14 in their last 2 losses, bringing back those old feelings of frustration for the fanbase while casting doubt for bettors.

Notre Dame has managed a .500 record through 6 games, as the Marcus Freeman era has certainly gotten off to a rocky start. Home losses as a double-digit favorite against Marshall and Stanford have the Irish faithful up in arms, and potential bettors being very careful with their wagers.

UNLV at Notre Dame picks and predictions

Prediction

Notre Dame 34, UNLV 13

Moneyline

Notre Dame (-10000) will cost you way too much for not very much return. It’s a lot of risk for any heavy favorite, but especially so with an inconsistent team like the Irish playing so-so football.

AVOID.

Against the spread

In normal times, when Notre Dame is playing good football, we’d suggest playing the favorite to win this one going away. However, the Irish are just 1-3 ATS as a double-digit favorite this season, including 2 straight-up losses.

Play just a half-unit on UNLV +27.5 (-115) unless this one manages to go over 28 points, then play it a little heavier.

Over/Under

UNDER 47.5 (-110) is the lean, but go lightly. This could easily get away from the Rebels like the last 2 weekends against Air Force and at San Jose State. The Rebels will struggle to put points on the board in this still difficult place to play, while the Irish have also had their issues on offense for most of the season.

First look: UNLV at Notre Dame odds and lines

Looking at Saturday’s UNLV at Notre Dame college football odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish (3-3) welcome the UNLV Rebels (4-3) to Notre Dame Stadium Saturday. Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. ET (Peacock). Below, we look at UNLV vs. Notre Dame odds from Tipico Sportsbook; check back for all our college football picks and predictions.

UNLV is coming into this game following an embarrassing 42-7 loss to Air Force. With a 40-7 loss to San Jose State the week prior, confidence in the Rebels camp likely isn’t high.

UNLV is captained by coach Marcus Arroyo, who came into the season with a 2-16 record as the program’s leader. With 13 total touchdowns, QB Doug Brumfield has been the key player for UNLV.

Notre Dame, on the other hand, after getting destroyed by Ohio State and then taken down by Marshall to start the season, has won 3 of its last 4 games. It has taken down teams like BYU and UNC.

The Fighting Irish are coached by Marcus Freeman, who is in his first season as the team’s top leader. They’ve allowed more than 21 points in just 2 of 6 games this season.

UNLV vs. Notre Dame head-to-head

With UNLV in the Mountain West Conference and Notre Dame independent, it is not shocking that these teams have never met before.

Notre Dame under Freeman, who is a long-time coach on the defensive side of the ball, allows just 22 points per game, ranking 36th of 131 FBS programs. Its offense has done little to help its cause this season.

For UNLV, Brumfield is a stud, but RB Aidan Robbins has also done well, totaling 591 rushing yards. The Rebels are huge underdogs, partly due to being on the road and partly because they haven’t been tested either, ranking 115th in strength of schedule.

Air Force at UNLV odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Air Force Falcons at UNLV Rebels odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Air Force Falcons (4-2, 1-2 Mountain West) will face the UNLV Rebels (4-2, 2-1) Saturday at Allegiant Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Air Force vs. UNLV odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Air Force lost straight up as an 11-point favorite last Saturday, 34-27 at the Utah State Aggies. Falcons QB Haaziq Daniels finished with 95 yards passing, 1 TD, 1 INT and rushed for a score as Air Force failed to cover the spread as a double-digit favorite for the 2nd consecutive game.

UNLV failed to cover as a 6.5-point underdog in a 40-7 loss at the San Jose State Spartans on Oct. 7. Rebels QB Cameron Friel threw for 143 yards and 1 TD on 14-of-19 passing as UNLV failed to cover the spread for the second consecutive game after starting the season 4-0 against the spread (ATS).

In their last meeting, Air Force covered as an 18-point favorite in a 48-14 home win vs. UNLV on Nov. 26, 2021.

Air Force at UNLV picks and predictions

Prediction

Air Force 38, UNLV 14

Moneyline

PASS.

Air Force (-380) ML is too expensive to bet. Look to the spread and total for better opportunities.

Against the spread

BET AIR FORCE -9.5 (-115).

Air Force will come out extra focused after getting embarrassed as a double-digit favorite last Saturday. The Falcons have the No. 1 rushing offense in the nation (359.8 yards per game) and should dominate time of possession vs. UNLV. Lay the points with the extra motivated, superior team.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 49.5 (-115).

This number has been bet down too far to take the Under. I would lean toward the Over at this point considering how low the number is and some trends that support a higher-scoring game. The Over is 8-2 in Air Force’s last 10 games and 5-1 in their last 6 meetings at UNLV.

UNLV at San Jose State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s UNLV Rebels at San Jose State Spartans odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The UNLV Rebels (4-1, 2-0 MWC) and San Jose State Spartans (3-1, 1-0 MWC) meet Friday at CEFCU Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the UNLV vs. San Jose State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

UNLV QB Doug Brumfield finished with 233 yards passing and rushed for a TD in a 31-20 win last Friday vs. the New Mexico Lobos. The Rebels trailed 17-0 in the 2nd quarter before scoring 24 unanswered points, but still failed to cover the full-game spread as 14-point favorites.

UNLV is 4-1 against the spread (ATS) this season.

San Jose State covered the spread as a 2.5-point favorite in a 33-16 win at the Wyoming Cowboys Saturday. Spartans QB Chevan Cordeiro threw for 314 yards and 1 TD and rushed for 2 more in their Mountain West Conference opener. Cordeiro went 21-of-37 passing as San Jose State improved to 3-1 ATS on the season.

UNLV at San Jose State picks and predictions

Prediction

San Jose State 34, UNLV 24

Moneyline

PASS.

San Jose State (-250) moneyline is a little pricey in this spot. The spread and the total are the better bets.

Against the spread

BET SAN JOSE STATE -6.5 (-110).

This line opened around -4 at most books and has continued to rise as the market has decided that San Jose State is the much better team in this game. With the West Division lead on the line, Cordeiro should continue to impress as a dual-threat QB and give UNLV’s defense fits. Lay the points as San Jose State wins by more than a TD.

Over/Under

BET OVER 51.5 (-115).

The Over is 4-1 in UNLV’s last 5 games vs. teams with a winning record. UNLV’s defense has looked good vs. weaker competition in its last 3 games but will struggle to contain Cordeiro. The Over is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings and should hit again as San Jose State piles up the points at home to take the lead in the West Division.

Colorado State at UNLV odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Colorado State at UNLV odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Colorado State Rams (21-3, 11-3 MWC) meet the UNLV Rebels (15-11, 7-6) Saturday night in Las Vegas. The Mountain West contest at the Thomas & Mack Center is slated to tip off at 8 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Colorado State vs. UNLV odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

A hot-shooting Colorado State bunch is 5-0 on the strength of a 49.4% mark from the floor in February. And CSU went into the last week of January on a five-game run, but it lost back-to-back games — one at home and one on the road — before starting its run this month. The first of those losses came in Fort Collins, Colo., against these UNLV Rebels.

UNLV won that first meeting (Jan. 28) 88-74. The Rebels banged home a dozen 3-pointers in that game and have a robust 41.3% from distance in their last six games. The Rebs shoot 3s at a top-100 rate, so the uptick in accuracy has gone a long way. UNLV is 4-2 over that span and overall has won three in a row at home.

Colorado State at UNLV odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado State 76, UNLV 71

Money line

There’s not much value for Colorado State in this revenge game at -200. PASS.

Against the spread

The Rams are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games against teams over-.500 at home. In the last nine games of this series, the road team is 6-2-1 ATS.

Nevada-Las Vegas G Bryce Hamilton, who averages 21.5 points per game. went off for 42 points when these teams met three weeks ago. Hamilton went wild from distance, knocking down seven treys.

The revenge-minded Rams have a lot to play for down the stretch, with MWC title and big-dance hopes very much alive. Peg meeting No. 1 as an outlier. TAKE COLORADO STATE -4.5 (-105). The lean is a small one based on the spread, which has gone up; consider waiting out a -3.5 play.

Over/Under

The last two CSU-UNLV games hit the Over and did so with a combined 37 points to spare. With both offenses clicking, TAKE THE OVER 142.5 (-110) in this one.

UNLV at Colorado State odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s UNLV at Colorado State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The UNLV Rebels (11-9, 3-4 MWC) and No. 22 Colorado State Rams (16-1, 6-1) lock horns Friday in Fort Collins, Colo. Tip-off at Moby Arena is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the UNLV vs. Colorado State odds and lines and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the Ferris Mowers Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

UNLV continues a rough travel stretch with this game in Colorado. The Rebels played at San Diego State Monday and were at San Jose State and Air Force Jan. 17 and Jan. 20. UNLV went 1-2 over those road games and is 1-6 away from home overall.

Colorado State leads the Mountain West in scoring with 78.5 points per contest, but it’s been solid defense and rebounding leading to success lately. CSU lost its only game of the season Jan. 8 at SDSU. The Rams are 5-0 with an average rebounding edge of plus-8.0 and have held foes to a 40.8% mark from the field since that loss.

UNLV at Colorado State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado State 75, UNLV 66

Money line

The Rams are the better shooting team, but they are down a couple of ticks with recent numbers from beyond the arc. They are perhaps a bit over-reliant from distance but are shooting just 31.2% on 3s since Jan. 4.

A veteran Rebels five does well to take care of the ball and figures as a better-than-15% choice to win this one outright. UNLV does have some injury questions, so consider a partial-unit play on UNLV (+600) for large value if they pull off an upset.

Against the spread

CSU is just 5-6 ATS at home. The Underdog is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings between UNLV and CSU.

Nevada-Las Vegas figures as a below-average shooting team but one with room for growth in that area. Expect a decent bounce-back effort after an 80-55 loss at SDSU Monday.

TAKE UNLV +13.5 (-115).

Over/Under

PASS: too many cross signals to parse.

UNLV at Air Force odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Air Force 36, UNLV 16

Money line

Air Force (-1000) will cost you 10 times your potential return, or you’ll earn just a $10 profit for every $100 risked. That’s not a good long-term betting strategy.

PASS, and look to the number instead.

Against the spread

AIR FORCE -17.5 (-110), win or lose, is all but locked into the Military Bowl. That doesn’t mean they won’t be playing hard in this one. Quite the contrary, as it’s Air Force, and they just don’t let up. And UNLV +17.5 (-110) has played hard down the stretch, but they just don’t match up well with the Falcons.

Over/Under

The OVER 50.5 (-110) is the slight lean. The Over has connected in four of the past five for UNLV inside the conference, while going 4-1 in the past five trips to the Springs. The Over is also 5-1 in the past six meetings overall in this series. For Air Force, it’s all about the Under lately, but it should run roughshod all over UNLV, posting big totals along the way.

San Diego State at UNLV odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s San Diego State Aztecs at UNLV Rebels odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 23 San Diego State Aztecs (9-1, 5-1 Mountain West) visit the UNLV Rebels (2-8, 2-4) Friday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Kickoff is scheduled for 11:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the San Diego State vs. UNLV odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Aztecs pulled out a 23-21 win over Nevada last Saturday, although they failed to cover as 2.5-point favorites. San Diego State is 0-2-1 ATS across the past three, and just 1-3-1 ATS over the previous five outings.

The Rebels started out 0-8 SU, but they haven’t given up. UNLV posted wins and covers in each of the past two games, including a 27-13 victory over Hawaii last weekend at Allegiant.

San Diego State at UNLV odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

San Diego State 30, UNLV 13

Money line

San Diego State (-450) is a conference title contender with just one loss, but it doesn’t have a prolific offense. Every game is a fight, and the Aztecs rely a lot upon the defense. They won’t get tripped up by an improving, but still bad UNLV team, however. But risking four and a half times your potential return is just not a recommended betting strategy over the long term.

PASS.

Against the spread

SAN DIEGO STATE -10.5 (-115) is quite a low line considering it is a nine-win team playing against UNLV, a team that tasted victory for the first time two weeks ago.

Yes, the Rebels have been hot, but beating New Mexico and Hawaii isn’t cause for celebration for most teams. San Diego State is a huge step up in competition, and UNLV will be back to the ‘L’ column in a big way after this one.

Over/Under

The OVER 41.5 (-105) is the play, but do so with caution. San Diego State hasn’t scored more than 23 points in five games dating back to Oct. 9. The Under is 5-1 in the past six for the Aztecs, too. But UNLV has allowed 31.8 PPG overall this season, and if San Diego State is going to re-discover its offense, it will be here on the fast track at Allegiant Stadium.
