New Mexico at UNLV

UNLV lost its starting quarterback, Armani Rogers, for up to six weeks with a foot injury and sophomore Max Gilliam, a junior college transfer, will replace him. The Rebels had no trouble scoring against the likes of UTEP and Prairie View, but they scored a combined 41 points versus USC and Arkansas State.  UNLV ran 49 times for 310 yards against the Red Wolves two weeks ago, but had virtually no passing game as Rogers was a meager 5-for-21 for 23 yards with three interceptions. The fact that Gilliam was the backup to Rogers is a scary proposition for UNLV fans. Needless to say, the game against Arkansas State went UNDER by nearly 20 points and the Rebels have gone UNDER seven of their last nine conference games going back to 2017. Also, the teams have combined to go 9-1 UNDER their last 10 October games and New Mexico has stayed UNDER five of its last six conference games. New Mexico has played some bad defensive teams this year and in the one game that it didn't, the Lobos scored only 14 points against Wisconsin. Both teams will play a time-consuming running game and this is an inflated posted total. Play the UNDER.
