| Sports Wagers UNLV +8½ -110 over Washington St. What we have here is a grossly inflated number due to UNLV’s 0-2 record this season and 0-5 record to close out last year. However, the Rebels could just as easily be 2-0 this season after narrow losses to Northern Arizona and a triple OT loss to Minnesota in their opener. The Cougars are 1-1 but that’s flattering after a 30-6 beating at the hands of BYU in their first game and a subsequent 24-20 win over Eastern Washington in week 2. Not only did WSU narrowly escape disaster as a 13-point choice over Eastern Washington, the defense allowed nearly 500 yards of offense and its own offense did not score in the second half. That was not a good showing at home in front of the school’s first opening day sellout in 60 years. The Cougars defense has been awful thus far. This intruder is nowhere close to being a PAC-12 contender and until that defense is cleaned up, they certainly don’t warrant being priced like this while on the road. Not to mention, the offense hasn’t exactly been great shakes either. The Rebels are on the verge of a win. Despite the winless start, the team is playing with a lot more confidence. They were whacked last season by this same bunch, 59-7 and the sting of that loss is definitely something that has been in the forefront of their minds. They will give a much better showing here with an outright win not being out of the question. The 8½-points in which we have to work with has us confidently backing the home side. |
