The current betting odds have UNLV listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. UNLV has looked good in their games this season with their 8-2 record overall and their 4-1 conference record which has them right near the top of the MWC. They are still in the race for the MWC Championship but they can't afford to lose another game since they already lost to Boise State. They are coming off a big win over SDSU in their last one and they have looked better in their road games this year with their 5-0 road record. Meanwhile, San Jose State has looked good in their games this season with their 6-4 record overall which has them bowl eligible, but their 3-3 conference record has them in the middle of the MWC and out of the Championship race. They have looked better in their home games with their 4-1 home record, but their defense has been giving up a ton of points all season and has struggled against better opponents too. They are coming off a bad loss to Boise State in their last one and UNLV was able to put up a fight against Boise State when they played. San Jose State has been putting up a ton of points in their games too, but so has UNLV and UNLV has the better defense to get the stops against SJSU here. The best way to place a bet here is on UNLV to cover the spread in this game.
