<p>The 2021 college football season goes on with Week 9 matchups, and Friday brings a marquee Mountain West Conference showdown at Mackay Stadium in Reno, so we have prepared the best UNLV vs. Nevada betting pick and odds.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The Rebels are winless in 13 consecutive games at any location, including the last season’s 37-19 home loss to Nevada. The Wolf Pack opened as huge 20-point favorites for Friday’s clash, while the totals sit at 58.0 points on <a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker/">Bookmaker Sportsbook</a>.</p>



<h2>UNLV nearly snapped its skid in Week 8</h2>



<p>The UNLV Rebels fell to 0-7 SU and 4-2-1 ATS on the season following a heart-breaking 27-20 defeat to the San Jose State Spartans this past Thursday. They blew a 14-point lead and failed to score in the fourth quarter while surrendering a couple of touchdowns in a return.</p>



<p>Still, the Rebels racked up just 335 total yards. They had 40 totes for 95 yards, while freshman Cameron Friel completed 20 of his 28 passing attempts for 240 yards and a TD. The Rebels allowed 216 rushing yards (6.5 per carry) and 213 through the air, struggling to defend once more.</p>



<p>UNLV allows 33.9 points per game (tied-114<sup>th</sup> in the country). The Rebels’ defense ranks 82<sup>nd</sup> in rushing yards (159.4) and 124<sup>th</sup> in passing yards (289.3). On the other side of the ball, the Rebels tally only 19.6 points (118<sup>th</sup>) on 118.3 rushing yards (102<sup>nd</sup>) and 178.4 passing yards (110<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<h2>Nevada suffered a tough loss at Fresno State </h2>



<p>The Nevada Wolf Pack (5-2; 5-2 ATS) put an end to their three-game winning streak last Saturday. They lost at the Fresno State Bulldogs as 3.5-point road dogs, 34-32, failing to convert a potential game-tying two-point conversion with a couple of seconds left on the clock.</p>



<p>Nevada gained 523 total yards against the Bulldogs’ stout defense but surrendered 461 in a return. Carson Strong went 49-of-61 for 476 yards, four touchdowns, and an interception, while Romeo Doubs had ridiculous 19 catches for 203 yards and a TD.</p>



<p>The Wolf Pack lean on their passing game, and Strong has already tossed for 2,466 yards, 20 touchdowns, and four interceptions. Nevada is tallying 35.7 points per game (21<sup>st</sup> in the country), but the Wolf Pack are averaging only 79.9 rushing yards per contest (128<sup>th</sup>).&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Trends:</strong></p>



<p><strong>UNLV:</strong></p>



<ul><li>2-4 ATS in the last six games played in Week 9</li></ul>



<p><strong>Nevada:</strong></p>



<ul><li>6-2 ATS in the last eight games overall</li><li>4-1 ATS in the last five games against the Mountain West Conference</li></ul>



<h2 id="h-unlv-vs-nevada-pick">UNLV vs. Nevada Pick</h2>



<p>The Wolf Pack should easily win this game. Their prolific offense will be too much for the Rebels, who might have a chance to keep it close if they find a way to take advantage of Nevada’s leaky defense. The Wolf Pack rank 66<sup>th</sup> in the country in rushing yards allowed and 96<sup>th</sup> in passing yards allowed, yielding 25.0 points per game (64<sup>th</sup>).</p>



<p>Despite their defensive woes, the hosts should torture the Rebels through the air. UNLV’s pass D is one of the worst in the nation, and Carson Strong will know how to take full advantage of it.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Take Nevada -20.0 at -110&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p><strong>The Total:</strong></p>



<p>I wouldn’t be surprised if the Wolf Pack drop a 50-burger on the Rebels, whose secondary doesn’t look ready for the challenge. Hereof, I’ll take the over on the totals, hoping for the visitors to contribute with a couple of touchdowns.</p>



<p>Nevada has allowed 17 or more points in six of its seven showings this season. The over is 5-1 in the Wolf Pack’s last six games overall, while the under is 5-1 in the Rebels’ previous six outings away from home.</p>



<p><strong>Pick: Go over 58.0 points at -110</strong></p>

Fordham Rams vs Duquesne Dukes Betting Pick & Prediction 1/27/24

<p>The UFC is going to leave the United States for the weekend as it’s time for UFC Fight night from Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia. This will be the first time that the UFC will be in that part of the world, but there is a terrific card set up.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The main event will feature a great middleweight battle between championship contenders, and the <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">betting odds</a> are tight as well. Here is a look at the best fights of the night, and some of the bets that should be made. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Aliskerov-Whittaker Ready for Battle</h2>



<p>The main event is a fight that is a long time coming as both the fighters have been on a path to contend for a title belt. Ikram Aliskerov will face off against Robert Whittaker and the latter is a slight betting favorite in this matchup.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This fight was actually just thrown together based on some other scratches, but these fighters were always going to meet up at some point. Aliskerov comes into this fight with odds set at +131, while Whittaker is a slight favorite at -151.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Whittaker will be delivering Aliskerov the first loss of his career, as he has been a fighter that just continues to impress. This should be a great matchup of two aggressive fighters, and this one will be decided by a knockout of some sort.&nbsp;</p>



<p>There is a really good chance that this fight will end with an upset, and getting Aliskerov at +131 is an opportunity that you can’t pass up. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Heavyweights Ready for Battle</h2>



<p>The UFC has done a great job of putting together some other great fights, and that includes a huge heavyweight battle between Alexander Volkov and Sergei Pavlovich. This is another fight where the betting odds are pretty tight, and it should lead to an excellent battle in Saudi Arabia.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Pavlovich has already had a shot at winning the title in this weight class, but he was clearly not prepared for that battle. He is the favorite in this battle at -201, but he will have his work cut out for him.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Volkov comes into this fight with three straight wins, and all three of them have come via stoppage. While that is an impressive run, that’s not going to be what happens in this fight.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you are going to bet on this fight then you want to take Pavlovich at -201 to come away with another impressive win.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Desperate Welterweights Ready to Fight</h2>



<p>Daniel Rodriguez will be looking to pull off a pretty big upset when he takes on Kelvin Gastelum in Saudi Arabia this weekend. Rodriguez currently has <a href="https://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/bookmaker">odds</a> set at +220, but he is facing Gastelum (-260), and he is another fighter that has been struggling to win of late. </p>



<p>Since both of these fighters are coming into this bout on a losing streak, there will be a bit of desperation that is shown throughout the fight. This might end up being the biggest upset of the night, and going with Rodriguez at +220 is the way to go.</p>
