UNLV Rebels
UNLV is coming off a demoralizing home loss to the Howard Bison. Losing by a field goal in a game that was supposed to be a blowout by the Rebels. UNLV lost the biggest upset in the history of college football last week, and it’s only fitting the upset came in Vegas.
The Rebels looked slow from the start and played sloppy the entire game. It was almost like the Rebels didn’t expect any one to show up and play in the opener. Boy were they wrong. The UNLV defense was carved apart by the Bison.

Howard put up an unexpected 449 yards of total offense against a UNLV team some thought would be better defensively this season. The secondary only gave up 150 passing yards and one touchdown to Caylin Newton, but allowed 309 rushing yards for the game.
Idaho Vandals
Idaho did what UNLV was expected to do, win in week one. The Vandals didn’t allow the Sacramento State Hornets any confidence early, taking the lead at halftime, 14-6. The Vandals offense score two more touchdowns in the second half for the 28-6 win.
Idaho’s defense shut down the Hornets in the second half, not allowing a point from Sacramento State. The Vandals defense held the Hornets to just 190 total yards for the game, and allowed under 100 yards passing and rushing in the win.

Idaho’s offense might not have looked as good as the defense, but were solid in the run and pass game. Quarterback Matt Linehan went 14 for 19 with 163 yards passing, two touchdowns and two interceptions, while Aaron Duckworth had 19 carries for 190 on the ground in the win.

Free Week 2 NCAA Football Pick
The Vandals are at home and the crowd will be rocking in Moscow. Idaho on paper looks like a team that is going to give UNLV serious problems in every aspect of the game. If UNLV wants a win, they must correct the run defense in week two.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Idaho -6.5
After the way the UNLV defense looked last week against the Howard Bison, the Rebels have way to much to correct in a weeks span, especially taking to the road against the well balanced tough nose Idaho squad.
Expect Idaho to dominate the Rebels on both sides of the ball in week two. The Vandals have a stout defense that will play very dominant at home. Look for the Vandals to roll the Rebels and cover the spread at home in week two.
