    Is UNLV -15 a mini-trap? I am heading to Vegas...
    And my plan is actually to go to this game and figured that it might as well be my play of the night. The problem is, I expected the line to be UNLV by 20 and this 15 is very strange.

    UNLV beat TCU by 23 at home
    UNLV beat New Mexico by 17 at home
    UNLV beat Cal by 17 at home

    Colorado State lost by 33 at New Mexico
    Colorado State lost by 19 at Wyoming

    Is this line just set at 15 because that is what kenpom is at? Because it seems like it is a game that could out of hand in a hurry with the way UNLV shoots at home.

    I have season tickets. I'm going tomorrow. Unlv is amazing at home. Struggle on the road but home games Are different. Unlv shoots lights out at home. Colorado state can shoot the deep ball. So far, unlv at home has won by double digits pretty much every game I can remember. It's at 15 because the way unlv has been playing lately think.

      yeah, two road battles... but yeah, different team at home... Guess I got some time to think it over. Hope it doesn't go to -18 while I"m trying to decide. lol

          I think the trap isn't on UNLV but instead Coloardo State. The public will be all over Colorado State +15 after they upset SDSU last week. That and seeing UNLV win by 2 to a mediocre AF will make CSU +15 the more popular choice.

          I personally think UNLV wins by 20+ tomorrow.

              No such thing as a trap.

                I'll be there for the MWAC Tourney.
                I expect UNLV to run away with that title.
                UNLV can cover 19 & 34 point spreads in their conference & I don't think tonight is an exception.
                When the line moves to 16 I'd still take them to cover over COST.

                  don't overthink things

                  if you thought the line was going to be 20 then be happy you're only laying 15

                    FWIW, i talked to two players on the UNLV team yesterday in the Student Union. I asked if they were going to blowout Colorado St., and they replied "We are going to smash."

                    I'm going to the game, but will layoff betting them.

                        Over might be a better bet but yes, I feel UNLV will beat them by 15 or more tonight.

                          i don't think asking that question could get you kicked out of school, but posting about it on a betting forum probably would.
