After closing as a 1-point underdog for last season's head-to-head matchup against the Lobos, UNLV is a two-touchdown favorite less than a year later. Check out our Week 5 New Mexico-UNLV picks.
Through four weeks of play, New Mexico (2-1-1 ATS, 1-3 O/U) is already within one victory of matching last year's win total. The Lobos showed that they are improved this season in an upset win over UTEP two weeks ago. Most recently, UNM was shut out by LSU last Saturday.
Like this week's opponent, UNLV (4-0 ATS, 2-2 O/U) has also proven to be greatly improved relative to last season. The Rebels' only loss to date came in a tightly-contested affair against Cal. The three wins that UNLV has amassed in the first month of play are more than what the program has achieved in the last two seasons combined!
Here are our college football betting picks for the Week 5 matchup between New Mexico and UNLV (odds via BetMGM and PointsBet; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5 star scale).
