College Football Week 7 Picks & Predictions: UNLV vs. Utah State
UNLV vs. Utah State (Friday)
Utah State has been as bad as anyone on defense this season, but they have at least added some scoring by giving the reigns to Iowa transfer QB Spencer Petras. Petras passing line in his two starts has been 53/86 for 665 yards, 5 TDs, and 1 INT. UNLV has allowed 300-yard passers in back-to-back games, and Utah State doesn't quit; they put up 507 yards against Boise State last week and 30 points. The Utah State defense has been one of the worst in the country, and this week isn't likely to help. The Aggies are 131st in scoring defense (41.4 Points Allowed Per Game), 123rd in rush yards allowed (216.2), and 120th in passing yards allowed (266.6). UNLV comes into this game with a Top 10 scoring and rushing offense and are likely to continue the embarrassment of this defense. Utah State will be throwing the ball a lot to try to catch up to UNLV's lead, which will likely lead to either more points for them or turnovers and short fields for UNLV. This is a big number, but UNLV will do the majority. Utah State has looked much improved on offense with the change at quarterback, and this game has a chance to be one of the week’s highest-scoring games.
Pick: OVER 65.5
