Memphis vs. UNLV betting odds (via FanDuel) Memphis vs. UNLV betting preview The Rebels finished last season tied with multiple teams atop the Mountain West at 6-2, and UNLV and Boise State owned the tiebreakers, putting both in the championship game for the third straight year. The Broncos hosted for the title game and came away with a 38-21 victory for their third straight championship win over UNLV. The Rebels went on to play in the Frisco Bowl, where they lost 17-10 to Ohio to end a run of 35 games when the Rebels scored at least 20 points, which was the longest active streak in the nation at the time. The Rebels' success should run through the offense, and they will need to replace quarterback Anthony Colandrea, who transferred to Nebraska.

Now, Huff has completely reshaped the Tigers' roster. Memphis brought in 53 transfers, including 17 players who followed Huff from Southern Miss, giving the Tigers the second-ranked transfer class in the American Conference. One of the biggest questions entering Week 0 is at quarterback, where former highly touted recruits Air Noland and Marcus Stokes are battling for the starting job. Huff has yet to name a starter for Week 0.

San Jose State at USC (-38.5, 61.5) NC State at Virginia (-4, 51.5) Jacksonville State at North Dakota State (-6.5, 46.5)

North Dakota State also makes its official FBS debut in the Mountain West against Jacksonville State.

Top Florida State vs. New Mexico State predictions After simulated New Mexico State vs. FSU 10,000 times, SportsLine model is going Under (53.5 points) on the total. These teams combined to average 50.8 ppg in 2025, while allowing a combined 53. But the defense is expected to be the stronger unit for both the Seminoles and Aggies, with more experience and, in FSU's case, impactful transfers.

Dan Mullen and UNLV brought in big-name transfer quarterbacks -- Jackson Arnold and Alex Orji. Arnold will start, through Orji is also expected to get snaps. The Rebels also return 1,000-yard rusher Jai'Den Thomas, so both teams have big potential on offense. See the model's score predictions for every other matchup here.
