Wyoming vs UNLV Prediction and Odds: Rebels go for win #9 in this Mountain West showdown

Originally posted on Gridiron Heroics | By Lucas Abrenica | Last updated 11/8/23

The UNLV Rebels (7-2, 4-1 Mountain West) will be home on Friday night (6-3, 3-2 Mountain West) to battle the Wyoming Cowboys. These Mountain West rivals are separated by just one game, so we should be in store for a competitive affair.

UNLV obliterated New Mexico this past Saturday, 56-14 on the road. Meanwhile, Wyoming defeated Colorado State 24-15 to improve to a perfect 6-0 at home. Now, the Cowboys will be back on the road, where they’ve gone just 1-3.

Will UNLV improve to 5-0 at home, or will Wyoming get the road win?

A late night battle coming up for game 1⃣0⃣

Game Prediction

The Rebels do a lot of their damage on the ground, coming in with the 17th most rushing yards in the country. UNLV isn’t that dangerous through the air, but they’ve been so dominant running the ball that they haven’t needed to get the passing game going. On defense, the Rebels are tough against the run, and Wyoming barely passes the ball. Expect UNLV, who are 8-1 against the spread this year, to win and cover here as their execution has been great game in and game out.

Final Pick:

UNLV -5.5 (-110)
