The 35 point spread matches the largest in the series.\u00a0 They were favoured by the same amount last year as they marched perfectly through the regular season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UNLV<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Runnin\u2019\u00a0Rebels are not having a very good season&#8230;but how bad can it be going to school in Sin City right?\u00a0 It used to be UNLV would get some alright talent spurned by bigger programs but that appears to have dried up in recent years.\u00a0 This team won 5 games a year ago but the only thing keeping it from being at the bottom of the Mountain West Conference this year is New Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>UNLV, with 8 starters returning on offense from last year, should be better on that side of the ball.\u00a0 They are averaging just over 18ppg which is almost a touchdown less than they did a year ago.\u00a0 This is not making new coach Bobby Hauck look very good.\u00a0 It is his first year in the program and they are regressing even though they have a senior QB in Omar Clayton to lean on.\u00a0 Clayton has been OK nothing more.<\/p>\n<p>Last year UNLV was shutout by TCU and the way the Horned Frogs are playing another shutout seems likely.\u00a0 Air Force with their dominant rushing game only scored 7 points against TCU so what chance does a weak UNLV squad have.\u00a0 The spread is 35 which sounds like a lot but it was 35 last year and TCU came away with a 41-0 victory to pull off the cover.\u00a0 That seems likely again this Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Pick: <\/strong>Even though they are 8-0 TCU is only 4-4 ATS.\u00a0 This team is on a mission and UNLV is nothing more than a minor speed bump.<\/p>\n<p><strong>College Football Gambling Trends<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Horned Frogs are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 conference games.<br \/>\nHorned Frogs are 8-3 ATS vs. a team with a losing record.<br \/>\nHorned Frogs are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games in October.<br \/>\nRunnin&#8217; Rebels are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.<br \/>\nRunnin&#8217; Rebels are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as a home underdog.<br \/>\nHorned Frogs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.<br \/>\nFavorite is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.<br \/>\nHome team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.<br \/>\nUnder is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Score Prediction:\u00a0 TCU 47 &#8211; UNLV 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CHECK OUT OUR <a href=\"\/forums\/college-football-betting\/\"><strong>College football betting forums<\/strong><\/a> today!
