This is a 10* MW GOM on Utah State.

Two teams on other ends of the conference collide here on Friday night, and I say this spread is way too large.

UNLV is now 4-1 after last week's 44-41 OT loss at home to Syracuse as a six-point fav, and I think it's primed for another letdown here on the road.

I'm not calling for an outright upset or anything, but it's going to be a big enough of a mental issue to give Utah State the advantage with the massive amount of points that they've been given here.

Hajj-Malik Williams was decent last weekend under center with 227 yards, three TD's, and one INT, but the Rebels defense looked poor.

That leaves the door open for Spencer Petras, who had 372 yards, three TD's in the Aggies' 62-30 loss to Boise State last weekend.

If Petras doesn't happen to play, Utah State still has a competent replacement in Bryson Barnes, who has 524 yards, four TD's and four INT's.

Look for UTAH STATE to keep the foot on the gas in the second half and to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch.

Good luck, NP
