UNLV’s had just two losses on the year, an overtime loss to Syracuse and a loss to tonight’s opponent in Boise State. The Broncos executed at a high level to get the win, including going for it on fourth and goal before the end of the half. They also were able to close out the game with a 14 play drive that ate up the final eight minutes and seven seconds. Expect that level of execution to be difficult to repeat. Grab the points here with UNLV.

One of the shortest road trips of the season lies tonight with Kennesaw State making the short bus drive to Atlanta, Georgia to face Georgia State. The Owls are coming off a three-game tournament in Canada where they had a dip offensively, largely because of the opponents they faced. Look for that to change against a Georgia State team that gives up 78 points per game. In last year’s win over Georgia State, Kennesaw State scored eighty eight points in the victory. Take the slim underdog here.

Expect the Lakers free fall to continue as they face a red hot Atlanta Hawks team. The Hawks have won five straight games and are doing it not just with offensive excellence. They are showing an increase in defensive ability, as we saw in their last victory over the Milwaukee Bucks. This could also end up being a refresh and reset game for the Lakers who may rest Lebron James. Lay it with the Hawks.
