Wyo is a 6 point favorite. Anyone going to put their money where their mouth is?
Ray Brewer is (with fake money). He is making it his play of the day.

Here's the latest installment of the Play of the Day, which uses odds from the South Point. Our three sports writers started with a $10,000 bankroll - fictional, of course.
UNLV plus-7 at Wyoming: $880 to win $800 : I was shocked when first seeing the betting line in the UNLV basketball team's Mountain West opener tonight. How could the Rebels be such a significant underdog to Wyoming?
Yes, Wyoming has an 11-2 record. And, yes, the game is at Wyoming where the Cowboys have a 10-0 record this season. But seven points is way too much.
Look at Wyoming's body of work.
The opponents the Cowboys have faced are of such poor quality that there hasn't been a betting number in five of their games. They've looked great against Stetson, Florida A & M and Western State Colorado, but in games against major conference opponents have just a 1-2 record. Aside from a lopsided win in November against Colorado, Wyoming has done nothing to merit being that big of a favorite.
UNLV is playing its best basketball of the season and typically performs well against Wyoming. They'll be short-handed with Patrick McCaw will see more playing time. If the Rebels can stay out of foul trouble in the post guard Larry Nance Jr - he'll be the best player on the court - they have a chance to win the game straight up.
Standings: Bern (61-52-1, $11,526), Keefer (56-60-2, $8,727), Brewer (53-58-3, $5,505)

74-69 UNLV.
We see some shattered souls in the Phog tonight.
Wood goes off, Shad has the June 11th 1997 Flu game and DM and GO have career nights, they bring it.
KU's freshman inconsistencies hurt them a bit in this one, as we had some of ours in Laramie and the Rebs come focused and ready to play tonight.
As has been said, similar to us matching better against AZ over Utah, I think we slightly match up better against KU vs Wyoming to be completely honest.
My get tells be we battle the Phog with a mark in the W column.
