Rebels started out as -7 point Dogs and now are -9.5

UNLV 44 - KU 34, Let's Go Rebels !!

I’m not touching this. I’m the Schleprock of Rebel-Net when it comes to predicting the outcome of UNLV games.

KU 35
UNLV 24

I think it looks a lot like last year...Close but KU pulls away.

Hoping I'm wrong and be happy to eat an entire serving of crow if I am...

I’ll eat crow too … and we’d probably be a FSU victory away from a number by our name.

100%...

It's a catapult game not a cliff game.

Win it and you are pressing the top 25. Lose it you drop a couple spots with a lot of season left.

27-24 UNLV squeaks away.

What’s the word on McDuffie?

 

[revav]

What’s the word on McDuffie?

No word probably means no play. Maybe for the best? Need him to be fully healthy afterwards.

 

[Rosegreen1]

35-28 UNLV, Sluka with the game winning drive.

 

[Boston Rebel 2]

35-28 UNLV, Sluka with the game winning drive.

I was going to say 34-28 and Sluka with the game winning drive 🤣

 

[RebelScrub]

Kansas blows us out..

I might put money on Kansas. Easy money.

Masked Rebel Bowl- The Rematch...
Heart: UNLV 34, Kansas 31
Probably: Kansas 42, UNLV 28

 

[Rod_the_Rebel]

I know it’s an overreaction by me, but after the kick in the sack today I don’t even care about the game tomorrow. Hope we win but it’s a tall order

I’m hoping the team comes out and plays with a chip on their shoulders and use todays events as motivation

Remind me to slap you when I see you at next Rebel game.

 

[SilverSpoon]

I'm in Connecticut for work and getting Pepe's pizza for the first time for tonight's game. A close loss would still be a win for me. I picked UNLV in OT.

 

[1Tripoda]

UNLV need a good showing here.

 

[InZoneU]

Got UNLV +9 and U 57.5 parlay going for tonite.

A couple good articles from the KU writers

Why Lance Leipold feels UNLV is a 'better team' than KU played in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl

Even though the two programs played three games ago, neither team is reading into the previous contest.

I think Joe wanted a prediction for the entire game, not the 1H.

Las Vegas State - 31
Corn - 34

I went with 38-31 Kansas

I watched all the betting line discussions, and they all talked about the UNLV secondary struggling as well as the QB being a downgrade. The QB as a downgrade is hard to take considering the coaching staff shut down the passing game by half time in both games. As for the secondary, I have no doubt it is a major upgrade from last season.

 

[Meister_Rebel]

The secondary had that one big mental fart with Utah Tech and it cost us a TD. We better have our secondary better prepared.

Oh, we will have at least one. Let’s keep it to one. It’s better than 2 per quarter like last season.

 

[1Tripoda]

Hopefully the Rebs stay focus on the same instead being distract by these alignment talks! UNLV need a good showing tonight.

 

[1Tripoda]

Let just stay focus on our boys' game tonight and let Harper and Whitfield do their thing. The BOR is another story. Let's just enjoy the game tonight.

I'm excited about the game tonight. It should draw some nice media attention and a lot of eye balls being on ESPN, so hopefully the team performs well!

40-17 Kansas. Unlv just isn't ready yet

How dare you bring that in here...

I'm not worthy of confidence yet

This is pretty much a guarantee.. Each side has to good of athlete on the offensive side to think someone isnt going to make a mistake once either trying to be aggressive or in communication... You just dont want to set the tone and be followed up by another.. Like lets say KU gets ball and on first play they throw a 65 yard TD or break a 65 yard TD run. Then offense comes out either conservative or aggressive and either an Int or a 3 and out occurs and then KU scores and 5 minutes into game were down 14.. Thats a hole we just cant get into... Im ok trading score for score, and then hopefully they make the mistake or have to make a FG vs a TD...

 

[1Tripoda]

Ah F*ck, please dont be distract by these shits. Play football boys!
