In this UNLV vs North Texas Prediction, UNLV is coming as -3.5 road favorites. Both teams are coming off opposite outcomes in their previous games, as North Texas lost by 36 points in Indiana, while UNLV win Hawaii by 15. Both of UNLV’s games this season have been low-scoring ones, as they average 21 ppg and allow 16.5 and North Texas scored just 16 last week. UNLV is 7-1 to the under in its last 8 games going back to last season and with a total set at almost 60 points, I just don’t see how both teams are going to get past that. Take the under 57.5 points.
