Sean brought up the elevation first: 5,100 feet. Colby called the game huge and said UNLV has to win it to have any chance at the Mountain West Championship.
Sean’s case was about the number. He likes taking high-elevation home dogs, and he said New Mexico, great season and all, has not really blown out competent teams. UNLV has not looked amazing, he said, pointing to its home loss to Wyoming, but 14.5 is a hair too high. With the total at 46.5 he does not expect a ton of possessions. If forced to pick a total he would take the under, but he called himself a sides guy.
Ryan said New Mexico is still the nation’s top havoc team and said to lay the points. He pointed to New Mexico’s 31 to 3 win over a team from Nevada.
Sean answered that Nevada is not good. Ryan’s reply was that New Mexico’s havoc rate makes any team it plays not good, and Sean agreed that was true.
