Guesses on point spread at UNLV

[upperdeck]

sagarin has it like 5-6 doesnt it? and thats before todays games

We missed the spread by a point today and now people think we’re gonna get a TD vs a G5.

Doubtful. We’ll be small favorites.

Everyone has a loss like ours to Stanford so far this year the overreaction to that game is crazy.

UNLV beat Kansas at Kansas

We lost at home to Stanford and haven’t played a road game yet

What’s your logic that Vegas would make us favorite, on the road, vs an undefeated team, other than Syracuse being your favorite team

Kansas lost to TCU by 11 today

Kansas lost TCU by 11 today

…and TCU beat Stanford at Stanford.

Unlv on the other hand has lost to no one.

Yet they will be an underdog at home?

Stanford giving clemson all the want. could easily be ahead.

We need to show up next week all 3 phases because UNLC will coming out blazing

Clemson is good. Not A tier team however.

Did I say that they would be an underdog? No I said unlv favored by 3. Check the thread.

Copy that. My response was to the poster than said otherwise.

We are 3 point dogs on a neutral field. I assume allegiant is considered neutral.

 

[elimunelson]

Syracuse -2.5

Why would it be considered neutral?Isnt that their home field?

It’s an NFL super stadium and a bucket list item for every away team they play. Place will have LOTS of orange. LOTS. It’s not a raucous away environment in the least.

I understand that UNLV is not a team that has a huge following, but if you are playing in your home stadium I can’t see how it is considered neutral.

Yeah. Not completely neutral. And we have to fly across the country. I’m just wondering if they’ll get the full home field line adjustment or not.

25K there today had to feel pretty empty

most locals dont care about the team but maybe some hype is building

 

[FrancoPizza]

Win by a field goal? Surely you jest

Pretty sure he meant we completely abandon the kicking game, score 3 TDs and all the 2pt conversions.

 

[djorange1989]

UNLV -3.5 to open moves to -5.5 by kickoff. Cuse ends up winning by 3, 24-21.

24 points? We are going to kick a field goal?!! Oh wait, maybe you mean 3TDs and 3 two point conversions

I talked to the tix rep a few days ago. They were thinking 25K...maybe a few more for Cuse

 

[JimBoston]

If you use the Sagarins from last week, the rating differential is 4 for UNLV then you add 3 points for the home team and UNLV would be favored by 7 points.

 

[Cusefan95]

Looking at Sagarin predictor model which usually tracks pretty closely to the spread, UNLV would be a 4 pt favorite neutral site. With the home points, it looks like UNLV -7.

You beat me to it

For a moment I thought it was 12 safeties. Which would seemingly be more possible than a field goal

 

[CuseBlood44]

For anyone who is still trying to predict it, the line is out. It’s UNLV -3.5. I think that is good for Syracuse but I also don’t love the hook
