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, picks and prediction

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

The UNLV Rebels (2-9, 2-5 Mountain West) visit the Air Force Falcons (8-3, 5-2) Friday at Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs, Colo. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the UNLV vs. Air Force odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Rebels have put up a fight in the past three games, going 2-1 SU/3-0 ATS after opening the season 0-8 SU. UNLV is averaging 26.0 PPG during the past three, while allowing 19.3 PPG.

The Falcons outlasted Nevada 41-39 in overtime last time out in Reno, and Air Force has won and covered two straight while hitting the Over in each. USAFA is averaging 38.0 PPG while allowing 30.0 PPG.

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.

UNLV at Nevada odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s UNLV Rebels at Nevada Wolfpack odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The UNLV Rebels (0-7, 0-3 MWC) and Nevada Wolfpack (5-2, 2-1) meet for a Friday 10 p.m. ET game at Mackay Stadium in Reno, Nev. Below, we look at the UNLV vs. Nevada odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

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

UNLV has been getting close. Including a 27-20 setback against San Jose State Oct. 21, the Rebels have lost four consecutive games by 8 points or less. They led the San Jose State 20-13 heading into the fourth quarter. How does a team ranked outside the top 110 on both sides of the ball play so many close games in a schedule that ranks above average? The Rebels rank in the top 30 in red-zone efficiency on both offense and defense.

The Wolfpack are coming off a close loss of their own, getting tripped up by Fresno State 34-32 in Week 8. The loss came after a three-game winning streak. Nevada suffered the loss despite compiling 523 yards of total offense. Nevada ranks third in the Mountain West Conference in total offense (459.3 yards per game).

UNLV at Nevada odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Nevada 35, UNLV 21

Money line

Peg a slight lean on UNLV in this one. It’s more of a slight fade of the host Wolfpack against what is analytically a bottom-5 Rebels group.

The latter leads me to a partial-unit play just as a default guard against overplaying teams that habitually underperform. In this case, that’s a hold-my-nose-and-take-UNLV-and-the-points play. PASS ON THE MONEY LINE.

Against the spread

BACK UNLV +20.5 (-112).

The Rebels are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games as road underdogs. The road team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight series meetings.

Nevada won last year’s game 37-19, but the contest was close heading into the fourth quarter.

A couple impressive offensive performances for the Wolfpack this fall involve some extraneous factors. Nevada beat Hawaii 34-17 in a game that saw the Wolfpack finish as a plus-5 in turnovers. UN beat New Mexico State, 55-28 in a contest that saw the Aggies pile up 108 yards in penalties.

Figure UNLV as staying within 14 fairly late. The odds of an ATS win after that are just north of the profit line.

Over/Under

The last 10 series games in Reno have seen the Under go 8-2.

The fade-the-Nevada offense has just enough pull here. BACK THE UNDER 58.5 (-115).

San Jose State at UNLV odds, picks and prediction

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

The San Jose State Spartans (3-4, 1-2 Mountain West) travel to meet the UNLV Rebels (0-6, 0-2) Thursday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the San Jose State vs. UNLV odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Spartans are coming off a 19-13 overtime loss as 9-point home underdogs against a ranked San Diego State team. The cover snapped an 0-5 against the spread (ATS) skid. QB Nick Starkel (arm injury) hasn’t played since exiting the Western Michigan game Sept. 25. The offense has averaged just 13.5 points per game (PPG) across the past two games.

The Rebels put up a tremendous fight at home against Utah State, falling just 28-24 as 7.5-point underdogs. UNLV might be winless, but it has covered three in a row and five of six overall. The Under is 4-1 across the past five outings.

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

Prediction

San Jose State 27, UNLV 16

Money line

San Jose State (-210) will cost you more than two times your potential return, and that’s risky business. There is no certainty that Starkel will be able to return from his three-game absence. Against a winless UNLV team, the Spartans might not feel the need to risk Starkel aggravating his ailment.

AVOID and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

SAN JOSE STATE -4.5 (-108) is the play with or without Starkel. QB Nick Nash did a decent enough job as the replacement against New Mexico State, a bad team. He should be able to steer the Spartans offense to the victory if Starkel isn’t quite ready against another bad team.

Over/Under

UNDER 46.5 (-112) is the best bet as the San Jose State D has really picked up the pace while the offense is dealing with an injury to its field general. The Spartans allowed just 19 points in the OT loss to San Diego State, and they held Western Michigan to 23 and Hawaii to just 13. They also did a decent job against USC, yielding just 30 points in the Coliseum.

San Jose State should be able to throw a blanket on this flagging UNLV offense.

UNLV at Fresno State odds, picks and prediction

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

The UNLV Rebels (0-3) and Fresno State Bulldogs (3-1) meet Friday at Bulldog Stadium in Fresno, Calif. Kickoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the UNLV vs. Fresno State odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Rebels opened the season with a 35-33 overtime loss against Eastern Washington, and they followed that up with a 37-10 loss at Arizona State before taking an ugly 48-3 loss at home against Iowa State last weekend.

The Bulldogs are No. 25 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports and returned to the rankings after a 40-37 road victory over UCLA last weekend. If you missed it, the Fresno-UCLA game was an instant classic, with QB Jake Haener gutting out a comeback win despite a hip injury.

UNLV at Fresno State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Fresno State 45, UNLV 10

Money line

You can’t play Fresno State (-10000) straight up and risk $100 for every $1 won. That’s just a poor long-term betting strategy which will have you in the red before too long.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

FRESNO STATE -30.5 (-110) is going to keep its foot on the gas after the big win in the Rose Bowl. The Bulldogs have an underrated offense, as Haener, WRs Jalen Cropper and Josh Kelly and RB Ronnie Rivers are skill position players who would start at a number of Pac-12 schools.

Look for the Bulldogs to get it done in “The Valley” in this Mountain West opener for both. The favorite cashed in four of the last five meetings in this series.

Stream college football games on ESPN+ by signing up here.

Over/Under

UNDER 59.5 (-115) is the lean, as I love the Fresno State offense, but I don’t trust the UNLV offense one bit. The Rebels were horrendous against Iowa State, another ranked team, last week, and that one was in their home building.

UNLV will continue to spin the wheels on the road against a Bulldogs team playing with a lot of confidence.

UNLV at Hawaii: Three things to know

  1. The Rebels have been a disaster so far this season, losing each of their five outings by at least 13 points. That includes a 45-14 beatdown at home from Wyoming. So far they’re 0-4-1 ATS, and they have allowed at least 34 points in every outing to date.
  2. It has been a mixed bag for Hawaii this season, as they have had some glimpses of brilliance, and a few ugly showings, too. They topped Nevada 24-21 in the islands on Nov. 28, winning outright as seven-point ‘dogs, but also have an ugly 34-10 loss at San Diego State on Nov. 14, and a 31-7 loss at Wyoming on Oct. 30. The offense has been much more consistent of late, however, averaging 26.7 PPG over the past three.
  3. The favorite has connected in four of the past five meetings in this series, with the Over hitting in four of the previous five head-to-head battles in the islands.

UNLV at Hawaii: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Hawaii 38, UNLV 13

Money line (ML)

Hawaii (-1200) will cost you 12 times your potential return, which means a $100 wager would net a profit of just $8.33. That’s not a smart decision. PASS.

Against the spread (ATS)

HAWAII -18 (-110) is worth a roll of the dice against the number, as the offense has looked much better in recent weeks. UNLV +18 (-110) has been disjointed all season, and it’s hard to imagine them hanging with the high-octane Rainbow Warriors for 60 minutes. The Rebels just want to get this season over with at this point.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 58.5 (-110) is the play in this one. The only concern is UNLV’s defense, and if they can stop Hawaii’s offense. But the Rainbow Warriors haven’t been as prolific as in recent seasons.

Still, UNLV yields 38.0 PPG, ranking 116th in the country, and they have been trampled in the run game, coughing up 250.4 yards per outing on the ground. Go lightly on the Under.

Wyoming at UNLV: Three things to know

  1. Wyoming hasn’t played since Nov. 5, having its past two scheduled games (vs. Air Force and Utah State) wiped out due to COVID-related issues in their opponent’s football programs. UNLV is in the same boat, as COVID issues within its program forced a cancellation of its game against Colorado State last week.
  2. Wyoming is the only one of these two programs to taste victory this season, dropping Hawaii 31-7 Oct. 30 in its lone home game so far. The Cowboys are 0-2 SU/ATS on the road this season, averaging 29.0 PPG and allowing 35.5 PPG, both Over results.
  3. UNLV was doubled up 34-17 at San Jose State last time out on Nov. 14, and it is 0-4 SU/0-3-1 ATS overall while yielding at least 34 points in every game to date.

Wyoming at UNLV: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Wyoming 45, UNLV 19

Money line (ML)

Wyoming (-667) has struggled on the road this season, but it should find plenty of success in Vegas against a UNLV (+480) team which has been a disaster. Still, you can’t put up more than seven times your potential return. AVOID, and look to the spread.

Against the spread (ATS)

WYOMING -16 (-110) is the best play on the board here, even if the Cowboys haven’t covered the number in two previous road games so far this season. The Cowboys run the ball effectively, averaging 184.3 yards per game on the ground, led by RB Xazavian Valladay’s 397 rushing yards. The Rebels been gouged for 213.3 rushing YPG and 36.3 PPG. This one won’t be pretty for the home side.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 51.5 (-110) is a great play. The Cowboys will look to mash the Rebels on the ground, with several helpings of touchdowns along the way. The Rebels just haven’t offered a lot of resistance defensively, so bettors should find the points copious in this one.
