Wyoming at UNLV: Three things to know
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
