Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: UNLV vs. Utah State
Thursday, March 13, 2025 11:30 PM
Play: Point Spread: +7.5/-110 UNLV
After a killer run in all sports (NCAAB, NHL, and NBA), I took one on the chin yesterday. But as the champion ‘Capper I am, I come back today with a vengeance, redeem myself, and get everyone paid as I sweep the board with 3 BIG TOURNAMENT WINNERS; Big East Bookie Buster, SEC Smack Down, and my Mountain West Money Maker. Get all 3, and be a big winner. But bring a broom, because I'm sweeping the board today. Thursday's Free Winner: Unlv Runnin' Rebels. Game 783. 8:30 PM PST/11:30 PM EST. You know folks, as a resident of Las Vegas for over 35 years, not only do I know the Mountain West Conference like the back of my hand, I know our very own UNLV squad even better. Trust me when I tell you, this is way too many points to give this team playing in their own city, on their own court, in front of their loyal fans. Yes, this game takes place at the Thomas & Mack, and yet this team is getting way too many points. They are 12-5 at home this season, while Utah State is just 7-4 on the road. These two teams split two matchups on the campaign, both played in January, with a total of eight points separating the two. The Rebels took the first meeting in mid-January at home, 65-62, then dropped the second meeting on the road, 76-71. However, they have covered three straight in this rivalry. The combined margin in the last three meetings between these two Mountain West rivals has been just nine-points. UNLV has won seven of their last nine straight up, covering five of those nine, while Utah State has won six of their last 10 straight up, and only covered half of those games. Both teams possess talented backwards that match up pretty well. While the Aggies score a bit more, offensively they are at a big disadvantage here, as the Rebels defense has played very well all season, and have tightened it up even more lately. I think this line is way off. I think this game comes down to the last minute or so. Take the Rebels and the points. Thank you.
