UNLV @ WSU - 2:00pm The Rebels might have gotten pushed around pretty good by Wisconsin last weekend, but honestly, a lot of teams would get pushed around by this year's Badger team. The Cougs are 14-point favorites and UNLV has been historically bad, but then again, the Cougs have been historically bad as well. Still, the Cougs are a bit ahead of their rebuild than the Rebels are and they REALLY should handle this team. Please Cougs. Handle this team. Please please please please. Cougs 34, Runnin' Rebs 17
