San Jose State’s pass defense was able to contain Air Force’s passing attack in their recent game. Even as 3-point underdogs on their away turf, I believe they have what it takes to cover against UNLV.

On the over/under, I have the best bet being to take the over at 58.5. This looks like a slam dunk bet for me, as my gut tells me the over will hit as well as our model projecting a combined 59 points.
