    Vegas folks, what is up with the UNLV line this week?

    I got some serious bias going on, but I am having a hard time understanding why the line is so low.

    UNLV was a dumpster fire last year, everyone knows this. That was last year, and they obviously improved (hard to get worse).

    However, I still don't see them giving Arizona a game. Arizona has the nations leading rusher last year, making his season debut due to being suspended vs. NAU, and I expect him to try and go off.

    Arizona QB situation is shaky at best. Everywhere except for RB, they are average, to include defense - where they have improved drastically (but much like UNLV - there wasn't anywhere to go but up).

    Rich Rod has shown his schemes have the ability to run up a score quickly.

    Serious question, which is why I am asking for local Vegas knowledge, why the hell is UNLV only getting 10 points?

    Haven't made a play, but am on the verge of pounding this shit.

    Any insight would be great.

    UNLV was actually a winner ATS last year. UNLV played good against minn but the special teams just total ****** them giving up 21 points. But minn is absolutely terrible i think U of A is better than them no?

    Offense took a huge step back, defense took a big step forward.

    Not all that up on Minny, but I would put Arizona as a bit better. More than likely view them similar insofar as they're too shit to make national noise, good enough to most likely make a bowl - so both average.

    Still think your boys from AZ cover. UNLV notorious for giving games away.

    Chalky, I like the over. Watched the last game and very poor tackling on U of A's part. Seeing a high tempo game, UNLV should get enough to put it over. Agree line looked low, wanted to pound the fukk out of it but passed after looking at UNLV's ATS #'s last year. Vegas sharps were plenty wrong on UNLV and Nevada last season though. Looks too good to be true, but could be low hangin' fruit.

    UNLV played better than the final score indicated against Minnesota... they just had turnover and special teams problems. But Nick Sherry is not a bad quarterback and Arizona's defense is bad. If UNLV can get this into a shoot out and get some kind of home field edge, they have a shot to cove.r

    Trying to compare UNLV in this game with last weeks game is useless. UNLV is a WHOLE different team at home than they are on the road. They still suck but they absolutely suck ass on the road. Be careful with this as their first home game against a superior team to them they usually step it up. Just ask Wisconsin....just my 2 cents
