College basketball picks for San Diego State vs. UNLV
Before tuning into the UNLV vs. San Diego State game, you need to see the college basketball picks from SportsLine's advanced computer model. The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every Division I college basketball game 10,000 times. It entered Week 8 of the 2022-23 college basketball season on a strong 21-15 roll on all top-rated CBB picks. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.
For San Diego State vs. UNLV, the model projects that the Rebels cover the spread as 4-point home underdogs. San Diego State has gotten off to a 10-3 start this season, but it has been one of the most overvalued teams in college basketball. The Aztecs have only covered the spread once in their last eight games, failing to cover the 17-point spread in their loss to Air Force on Wednesday.
UNLV has been trending in the opposite direction, covering the spread in six of its last eight games. The Rebels are coming off an overtime road loss at San Jose State, but they have gone 7-1 in their last eight home games. They have also won 11 of their 13 games overall this season, so the model thinks there is value on the 4-point spread in this matchup.
Senior guard EJ Harkless leads UNLV with 15.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game after pouring in 20 points against the Spartans on Wednesday. He is joined in double figures by sophomore guard Keshon Gilbert (13.4) and senior guard Luis Rodriguez (12.2). SportsLine's model thinks their balanced lineup will keep them in this game until the very end, as they are covering the spread in more than 60% of simulations.
