<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>NCAA Basketball Odds &amp; Preview - Utah State in Payback Mode Against UNLV</strong></span>

<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>UTAH STATE AGGIES at UNLV REBELS, 11 PM ET (FS1)</strong></span>

<strong>NCAA Basketball Odds: Utah State -7, Total 136.5</strong>

Don't forget that at <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betanysports"><strong>BetAnySports</strong></a>, you can get a better deal on the odds with reduced juice, as well as continual, real-time wagering after the opening whistle with Sports Betting Prime....

Not long ago, the Utah State Aggies were looking very much like the best team in the Mountain West Conference, especially after a sweep of San Diego State, which took place within an eleven-game winning streak.

It's not so much that they won eleven in a row; it's HOW they won those games. While the wins over the Aztecs we're not something we would classify as "romps," the overall average margin of victory was 25 points.

So they know how to beat up on the lesser lights.

But now Utah State has lost two games in a row, and this last defeat, on Monday night, carried a particular sting to it, because it was clear that this club was asleep until engineering a late run.

The Rebels are not an outstanding team, but they held a nine-point lead with just 68 seconds to go before Utah State mounted a furious and desperate charge. They could have tied the game, but a three-point attempt by Steven Ashworth missed the mark. So perhaps they'll learn some lessons from that 59 - 56 loss, which represents not only their lowest season total for one game, but also the highest number of triples UNLV has made in a contest thus far (13).

Neither of those things are acceptable.

Perhaps the Aggies can take some solace in the fact that they were able to hold UNLV to just 22.6% shooting from two-point range, which is almost impossible to fathom, even for a team like them - sixth in the nation against shots inside the arc.

So will they try to run the Rebels off the three-point line? Well, it might be hard to do that, considering that UNLV has launched 47% of its shots from downtown. The question is whether UNLV can get relatively hot again from out there. They're not even 35% on the season, so it's kind of a challenge. As is often the case, the triples are a double-edged sword.

There is no question that Utah State has a decided rebounding advantage. They are, in fact, fifth best in the nation in defensive rebounding percentage, and they also pull down 35% of the available offensive boards.

Maybe Utah State center Neemias Queta is going to take this one personally. Queta, a 7-footer who is originally from Portugal, is one of the top shot blockers in the nation, in fact leading the conference in block percentage this season and the previous two. He is also a 60% shooter, operating on the inside, and he was held to single-digits in Monday's game. There will be almost NO business being done by the home team in the paint.

The story with the coaches is also pretty interesting. Craig Smith came to Utah State from his previous station at South Dakota, while UNLV's TJ Otzelberger patrolled the sidelines at South Dakota State, where he had a lot of pretty good shooting teams. So they're weill-acquainted from the MWC, but from a territorial battle in the Summit League as well.

Well, Otzelberger better have a very good shooting team on Wednesday night, because avenues other than long-range bombing are going to probably be closed to his squad. Now that the situation has their full attention, we do expect the Aggies to come out with a lot of intensity, and as one can see from some of their previous results in this conference, they have the ability to create quite a margin between themselves and an undermanned opponent. We will lay the points.

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.
