Follow On X: https://x.com/PicksOffice Defensively, UNLV boasts a robust lineup with key returners like Jackson Woodard, who led the team with 116 tackles, and Cameron Oliver, who snagged five interceptions last season. Additionally, the infusion of talent from the transfer portal, including standout players like Texas A&M cornerback Tony Grimes and Texas safety Jalen Catalon, fortifies their defensive unit even further. UNLV's defense is well-rounded and prepared to limit offensive production, which is crucial in a game where defensive strength will play a pivotal role in the outcome. Houston's offense, while having talented pieces such as returning quarterback Donovan Smith, who threw for 2,800 yards and 22 touchdowns, faces significant challenges. The loss of four of five starting offensive linemen is a major concern, especially against a defense as potent as UNLV's. While the addition of wide receiver Mekhi Mews from Georgia adds a dynamic element, the lack of continuity on the offensive line could severely hinder Houston's ability to consistently move the ball and score points. This instability upfront could lead to stalled drives, particularly against a disciplined and aggressive UNLV defense. On the other side of the ball, Houston's defense is not to be overlooked. A.J. Haulcy, who led the team with 108 tackles, returns alongside other contributors like Anthony Holmes Jr., who recorded 2.5 sacks. However, despite their individual talents, Houston’s defense will be tasked with containing a UNLV offense that, while capable, is not particularly explosive. This plays into the under, as both teams might struggle to produce significant offensive output, especially with Houston's offensive line issues and the strength of UNLV's defense.
