Prediction
UNLV has one of the better offenses in all of college football, and despite last week’s loss, they were clicking pretty well. On the flip side, the Rebels’ defense has been just about average, so it’s no surprise that each of their previous two games have gone over. The Aggies have a decent offense, but their defense has been terrible, so we’re targeting the first half over on Friday. There were 38 first-half points in UNLV’s last game and 66 in Utah State’s, so we’re banking on over 33 in this one.
Final Pick
1st Half Total Points Over 33.5 (-105)
