This is the best team that Marcus Arroyo has had since he's arrived in Las Vegas. QB Doug Brumfield is playing efficient football and defensively they are playing really well within the front seven. New Mexico is in a transition this year, as their offense just is too young to find any level of consistency. Look for UNLV to seize the opportunity here on a Friday night in Vegas.

UNLV posted a 31-17 victory against the Lobos on the road last season. The Rebels have scored 52 and 58 points already in 2022 and they’re 4-0 against the spread.
