This is a 10* BIG TIGER on Fresno State.

We wait every week for the "Football" lines to come out and often make our selections within minutes of their release. Sometimes this works favorably for us and other times, like last night where we had North Texas at +28, lucky to get the cover with the final line closing at +34.5 in some places, it works against us. And the latter is the case unfortunately here, we took the home side at +3 and that's since gone up to +7 in most places, but regardless, we still love this selection as we expect the Bulldogs to keep this one a lot closer than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe. UNLV is just 2-4 and is coming off a deflating 33-27 OT loss to visiting San Jose State last week; the Rebels were led by QB Kurt Palendech in that one, he'd go 15 of 30 with two TD's and a pair of costly INT's though. The Bulldogs have nothing to lose today, the team wasn't expected to dominate this season and it'll be especially eager to pull off an upset after five straight losses, including last week's 56-14 setback to visiting Utah State. Both teams are equally horrible, we just feel that UNLV's issues at QB are something the home side can take advantage of, also note that this is a spot in which the Rebels have struggled in for bettors recently, going just 1-2 ATS in their last three as a road favorite in the 3 to 10 points range. And note that this is actually a position in which Fresno State has performed well in, going 4-3 ATS in its last seven off a loss against a conference rival. Grab as many points as you can with the BULLDOGS.
