A couple of angles to note here at Clune Arena tonight. Firstly, UNLV is unlikely to play as poorly as in that shock 90-58 loss to the Force at the Thomas & Mack last month, which remains the Falcs' only Mountain West win. Secondly, however, it's another chance to ride what has been one of the most-pronounced "totals" trends in the nation, as Air Force has flown "over" an astounding ten straight times, and in fifteen of its last sixteen games! That includes nine straight "overs" in Colorado Springs. It seems advisable to continue riding this strong "totals" trend as long as it lasts...especially as the posted numbers haven't seemed to yet adjust. Play UNLV-Air Force "Over"

Air Force has not covered a home game since Nov. 17, against William & Mary. The Rebels are in serious revenge mode after getting embarrassed 90-58 by the Falcons a month ago. That was Air Force's only Mountain West win, a clear outlier. Look for UNLV to win for the sixth time in seven games and cover.

Air Force's 90-58 blowout of UNLV at the Thomas & Mack on January 23 that grows more odd by the week as the Falcons continue to search for their next MW win. Stats were eye-opening that night, as the Force his 50% of its triples (14 of 28) while the Rebs hit only 5 for 28 from deep, and nothing much else looked good for UNLV that night, wither. But balanced UNLV has won three straight and four of five on the MW trail, and has five guys who can score, with frosh G Dedan Thomas (18.3 ppg last three) continuing to impress. Play UNLV
