COLLEGE FOOTBALL FREE PICK: UNLV is 19-9-1 ATS as a home dog L7+ years. Yes, UNLV lost to Northern Arizona by 3 and Minnesota by 3 in three overtimes. But they are making progress. Both teams are trying to find an identity. Even though Washington State is 1-1 under new coach Mike Leach (after barely beating Eastern Washington 24-20 at home), they shouldn’t be this much of a favorite on the road. They fell in the first week at BYU, 30-6, allowing 426 yards. Freshman Nick Sherry threw for nearly 240 yards last week for the Rebels. Washington State could be without QB Jeff Tuel, who has an injured knee. Sophomore Connor Halliday stepped in last week and threw for just 76 yards and a pick against Eastern Washington.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL WEEK 3 FREE PICK: UNLV +8.5
