New Mexico plus-6 at UNLV: $440 to win $400
The Rebels have had a couple of inflated lines in their favor lately, and this feels like another one in interim coach Todd Simon’s debut. Perhaps UNLV (9-7, 0-3) will get an emotional charge from the coaching change that ended Dave Rice’s tenure 16 games into his fifth season, but even if that’s the case, it might not be enough to cover six.
I haven’t thought much of the Lobos (10-6, 3-0) this season, but they’ve won their first three league games by an average of 15 points, and junior forward Tim Williams could give UNLV’s defense some big problems in the post. It will be a good showing and a straight-up victory for the Rebels, but I’ll side with the road team to keep it close.
