UNLV has already shown it can hang with the big boys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rebels own two wins over Power Four teams this year. This week, they have a chance to show Oregon State why they should have been included in the first round of Pac-12 expansion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rebels hit the road Saturday to face Oregon State at 10 p.m. ET on The CW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNLV scored at least 50 points for the third time this season in last week\u2019s 50-34 win over Utah State. The Rebels are scoring 45.3 points a game, which ranks No. 2 in the Mountain West<\/a>. Only Boise State (46.8) is producing more points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Led by co-preseason defensive player of the year, linebacker Jackson Woodard, the Rebels are giving up 22.2 points a game, which also ranks No. 2 in the conference behind Hawaii (20.5). UNLV quarterback Hajj-Malik Williams has posted 11 touchdowns (nine passing and two rushing) in three games since taking over for Matthew Sluka. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oregon State is led by running back Anthony Hankerson, who has posted 639 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground this season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNLV at Oregon State Betting Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UNLV is a seven-point college football betting odds<\/a> favorite, and the Over\/Under is 59.5 points. The Rebels are 6-14 against the spread in their past 20 games as a favorite on the road. Oregon State is 9-11 ATS in its past 20 games as an underdog at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNLV at Oregon State Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I predict UNLV wins 34-24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Rebels\u2019 offense has been rolling since Williams took over, and wide receiver Ricky White has been unstoppable in recent weeks. He has produced three straight 100-yard receiving performances, including a season-high 138 yards against Utah State. Pair that with the best defense in the Mountain West, and UNLV is a nightmare matchup. I think the Rebels will pick up a big win heading into an even bigger matchup against No. 15 Boise State next week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresno State at Nevada Pick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How to watch<\/strong>: 10:30 ET. CBS Sports Network<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Betting line: <\/strong>Fresno State is a three-point favorite and the Over\/Under is 49.5 points. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prediction: <\/strong>I predict Nevada wins 17-14. Nevada scored 21 points in the fourth quarter and knocked off Oregon State last week despite racking up just 69 passing yards. The Wolf Pack leaned on a dominant rushing attack, led by Savion Red\u2019s 137 yards and four touchdowns. I believe Red and athletic quarterback Brendon Lewis, who rushed for 151 yards against the Beavers, will lead Nevada to another win. <\/p>\n\n\n
