Anticipated Showdown in NCAA Basketball: Nevada vs. UNLV on Friday Night
Buckle up, college hoops fans! The Mountain West "After Dark" clash between the Nevada Wolfpack and UNLV Rebels promises to be a thrilling end to your basketball week. This interstate rivalry is known for its close contests, but the oddsmakers have thrown something different into the mix this time.
With 1.5 points separating the teams, some might find the spread a bit tight. For those who think this game could go either way, the real action lies in the 133.5-point total available on legal sports betting sites.
Nevada vs. UNLV
- Spread: Nevada -1.5
- Total: 133.5
Bet on Point Overload
The 133.5-point total seems surprisingly low for this fierce rivalry. In their last four meetings, the point total has exceeded 133.5 points every single time!
On average, both teams put up an impressive combined 143.1 points per game. Defensively, they're not exactly protective: they let in a combined 135.9 points per contest. So, it's safe to say that they're both well above the 133.5 total set on college basketball online sportsbooks.
The betting trends favor overs for Nevada as they've gone over in nine of their last twelve games. And they've consistently cashed tickets in games with a total set at 133.5 or lower, including three of their last four outings.
UNLV, too, has a good record when the total is set at 133.5 or below, with three overs in their last five such games. Fresh off an over hit against a 137.5-point total, UNLV looks set to keep the points rolling.

- The competitive nature of the UNLV-Nevada rivalry, known for close contests, now presents an opportunity for sports bettors with an attractive over-under total of 133.5 points on legal betting sites, despite the spread of 1.5 points.
- Intriguingly, the point total of 133.5 seems modest compared to the past four meetings between these teams where the point total consistently surpassed this mark.
- Given the teams' offensive prowess, averaging a combined 143.1 points per game while also being defensively vulnerable, placing a bet on the "over" looks promising, especially considering Nevada's nine overs in their last twelve games and UNLV's three overs in their last five games with a total set at 133.5 or below.
