Sports Chat Place's Game Prediction

"UNLV comes into this matchup looking to start the season with a 5-0 record, but they were very fortunate to escape with a win against Miami (OH) last time out. Wyoming has lost two games in a row and they have allowed 68 points in those two losses. The Cowboys do play their best ball at home and they face a UNLV defense that has had some issues, but I just can’t trust this Wyoming offense. Take UNLV to cover on the road with a strong offensive performance."

You may have noticed that they didn't give an exact score but said to take UNLV to cover. The line they are working with is the Rebels at -3.5, so they are predicting that UNLV will win by at least four points. This is a take that we agree with. It would be disappointing if the Rebels didn't win this game convincingly, even on the road in Wyoming.
