Predictions and Betting Preview for the UNLV Rebels vs Idaho State Bengals College Football Game on August 27 2022
Where: Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, Nevada
When: Saturday, August 27, 2022, 3:30 PM ET
Betting on the UNLV Rebels
Regular Season Record: 0-0
Spread: UNLV -7
Moneyline: TBA
Over/Under: 40.5
UNLV will be looking to deliver better performances than last year, but will have to start this game taking advantage of the fact that they open the campaign at home. Offensive miscues were constant, but after adding quarterback Harrison Bailey, hopefully that will help them perform better with either ground or air play.
Defense was not their strong point either, as they finished the season in last place in the secondary in their conference. However, this line will now be experienced and could correct the mistakes of the past.
Betting on the Idaho State Bengals
Regular Season Record: 0-0
Spread: Idaho State +7
Moneyline: TBA
Over/Under: 40.5
Idaho State will have a new coach for this season, Charlie Ragle, who will be in charge of rebuilding a team that had many ups and downs in the last time. We will have to wait for this first game to see how the team adapts, but on paper the offense is expected to deliver a better performance this year.
With the new elements and Ragle’s new project, the offense that averaged 312 yards per game last season could show significant improvement from this game.
JefeBet Prediction
Idaho State comes into this game as the underdog due to the fact that they are starting a new project and the adaptation process might not happen overnight.
Pick: UNLV Rebels win.
