It has been a series with many twists and turns over the years, but Nevada will at least have the comfort of opening as a big favorite for its rivalry game against UNLV.
The Wolf Pack (5-2 overall, 2-1 in Mountain West games) was a solid 20.5-point favorite Monday morning in the early oddsmakers’ betting line. The Rebels (0-7, 0-3) have lost 13 straight games — in fact, their most recent win came at the end of the 2019 season at Mackay Stadium.
The teams will meet for the 47th time on Friday night (7 p.m.) at Mackay Stadium.
