The first game in the series was played on November 22, 1969 with Nevada winning 30-28 in Reno

This will be the 50th meeting between the in-state rivals 

This is also the 35th straight year Nevada & UNLV have played 

Nevada leads the series 28-21 

Nevada leads 13-11 in games played in Las Vegas 

UNLV has won two straight vs Nevada & a UNLV win this week would be the first 3-game winning streak vs NV since 2000-04, which was a 5 game streak under John Robinson 

This will be the 14th time UNLV & Nevada have met to end the regular season 

The 18 wins in 25 games under Odom represent the most victories over any two-season span since the Rebels went a combined 18-6 in 1983-84

UNLV is tied for third in the nation in turnover margin at plus-13 as the Rebel D has forced at least one turnover in 23 of 25 games under DC Michael Scherer

UNLV has scored 84 points off opponents turnovers 

With the win at San Jose St last week, UNLV currently has a 8 game road winning streak which is only behind Texas & SMU (10 road winning streak) 

The Rebels, who are bowl-eligible in back-to-back seasons for the first time ever, are 17-1 under Barry Odom when leading after the third quarter and 7-0 this fall when scoring first

Go Rebs!  Keep the cannon red!

Choate, "Ricky Wright". Nice film study, Coach.

Talking trash during a presser would not be a good idea either. More locker room materials.

Taking the Pack getting 17.5

Not a gambler so I dont bet. This UNLV beat some really good teams and lose to some teams that play at their best. 17,5 seems like a lot but 30 plus seniors last game and in Vegas? Good luck, man.

[CougarFrog]

UNLV will run up the score for style points for after it beats Boise.  The Rebs need to get above Tulane.

[Headbutt]

Choate can become a god.  Go Wolf Pack!

Just not Odom's style, unfortunately.

I loathe ESPN but they got this measuring circle ...how many percent they think UNLV winning percentage and UNR are. Over 12% for the Pack. It seems a little high.

Yeah, that thing's meaningless.  Even moreso for a couple of G5 teams that they barely pay attention to.  Obviously UNR is the clear and heavy favorite, but it's for the cannon.  Screw the stats, both teams have something to prove.  Choate becomes king if he can play spoiler.  Odom wants to go out on top.  Can't wait to watch.

based on the betting odds, -900/+600, 12% is right on the money

Are you living in an inverse universe or something? Blood flow is important for cerebral functions. No way to live upside down. Sheep is dinner meats. It is cooked and done by the Dogs. The Aggies will probably deep fried you next week further.

[BodyBagGame]

Kinda funny. When you go to the ESPN website and look at scores by conference, there is no PAC 12, or PAC 2 or anything.  There is no PAC conference apparently.

You missed the game against Utah Tech.  Plus this is rivalry game and Odom wants to make a huge statement. 

[Quickdraw]

Really looking forward to this game, but then again I’ve looked forward to every game this year. Really love this game being the last regular season game.

Go Rebels!

I did not miss that one. You couldn't not score at times...this is one of them. 3rd string, 5th strings...everyone score. what can you do?

[Rebel_Alliance]

Gonna be fugly.  Reno are gimps, and UNLV has an outside shot at the CFP.  My prediction is pain.
