UNLV at Michigan Preview & Picks

Michigan are tipped to cover as they improve to 2-0.

The Wolverines should have few problems moving the ball and scoring on this UNLV defense.

And on the opposite side of the football, they can shut down a one-dimensional Rebels offense.

  • Michigan are 16-0 in their last 16 road games
  • UNLV are 1-12 in their last 13 road games as a betting underdog
  • The Under has cashed in 12 of Michigan’s last 15 home games (1 push)
  • The Under has hit in 6 of Michigan’s last 9 non-conference games (1 push)

Head To Head

  • Michigan lead the all-time series 1-0
  • Michigan won 28-7 when the teams last met in September 2015

UNLV Form

UNLV are looking to improve on a 2022 regular season that saw them finish with a 5-7 record.

The Rebels made a strong start to that campaign as they won four of their first five games, but their form soon nose-dived.

They lost six consecutive games before finally wrapping up the season with a 27-22 home win against Nevada.

UNLV have made a winning start to this season too, having eased to a 44-14 win against Bryant last weekend.

Michigan Form

Michigan opened their 2023 season with a commanding win as they look to challenge for a National Championship once again.

The Wolverines dominated the Big Ten last season, finishing the regular season with a perfect 12-0 record that included a 45-23 win at bitter rivals #2 Ohio State.

They turned that into Big Ten Championship Game success with a 43-22 victory over Purdue, securing a place in the College Football Playoffs.

However, Michigan’s quest to become national champions ended in a shock defeat as they lost a thrilling Fiesta Bowl clash with #3 TCU, 51-45.

That left the Wolverines with a bitter taste in their mouths during the offseason, but they put that loss and the absence of head coach Jim Harbaugh behind them in their 2023 season-opener.

They gave up just one field goal as they ran out 30-3 winners against East Carolina last weekend.

Verdict

Michigan should have few problems putting up points while keeping UNLV out of the endzone.

So while the Wolverines are not the most reliable of spread picks as a heavy favorite, we are backing them to deliver a cover here.
