Memphis vs. UNLV Game Betting Analysis

This is a tough game to nail down when looking at the data, but narrowly finding some conviction in the total going Over for a few reasons but mainly the venue. Allegiant Stadium saw 66.4 points per game last season, with the total on Saturday evening currently at 56.5. Getting 10 points is a great starting point, while UNLV has also gone Over the total in seven of eight home opening games as a favorite. Memphis has also hit the Over in four of five game as the underdog. So why just ‘narrow’ convcition?

UNLV ended last season on a 1-5 Under run over its last six games. The ATS market also has friction in it, while Memphis has dropped the spread in its last four games it has covered six of eight games as the underdog. So while UNLV’s Under run to end 2025 does worry us a bit, there seems to be enough data to support the Over but more specifically the venue this game is being played in.
