I was one of the few handicappers in the country that was actually high on UNLV last year and they came through with flying colors, winning seven games and making their first bowl since 2000 and just the second bowl for the program in 20 years.

It was nearly impossible for UNLV to add to that bowl resume because of an initial ban from postseason play due to poor academic standings. However, in late June that initial ruling was reversed and now, surprsingly, the Rebels could be bowl eligible this year. That has to be heartening for the 12 returning starters back this year. However, the Rebels lost their quarterback, running back and four of their top five tacklers and their odds of getting to six wins is pretty slim.

The Rebels have a manageable open to the year, with home games against Northern Colorado and Northern Illinois. They also face a weak San Jose State team on Oct. 4. So any progress this team can make will take place early.

I don’t see any way that they can win five games this year. The Rebels won an average of just two games per year in Bobby Hauck’s first three seasons and UNLV has averaged just three wins per season over the last 10 years. This is an easy call. Take the ‘under’.
