Here, we break down Fresno State vs UNLV, a game that has become much more interesting thanks to some off-field happenings leading up to the game.

Fresno State Looks For Fourth Straight Win

The Fresno State Bulldogs are 3-1 heading into Saturday's massive matchup against UNLV in the Mountain West. After losing their season opener to the defending champion Michigan Wolverines, the Bulldogs have beaten Sacramento State out of the FCS along with New Mexico and New Mexico State. This week, Fresno State will face the best defense that they have faced since going up against Michigan in Ann Arbor. But it is the Fresno State defense that will be the most interesting part of this game for the Bulldogs, as they have to adjust to some major changes for the UNLV offense coming into this game.

NIL Drama Consumes UNLV Program

Going into this Fresno State vs UNLV matchup, the UNLV Rebels have been the biggest story in college football, but not in a good way. This week, starting quarterback Matthew Sluka announced that he was going to redshirt the rest of this season due to NIL commitments not being met at UNLV. That leaves the Rebels needing to replace Sluka without much time to prepare for this contest, which could hurt their chances of coming away with a key victory. While Sluka was by no means great through the air early in the season, a lack of continuity on offense could be devastating as UNLV looks to improve to 4-0 on the season with a win here.

Fresno State vs UNLV Best Bet

This Fresno State vs UNLV matchup will hinge on how well the Rebels can adjust to a change at the quarterback position. We don't see things going all that well in that department this week, as UNLV may need some time to get used to a new leader of their offense. We will take the points with Fresno State on the road here in a game they could win outright against a UNLV team that is clearly dealing with some problems off the field at this point in time.
