UNLV Rebels vs Miami (OH) Redhawks Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 09/20/25

This is simply a play of numbers, we are not entirely sure that the Rebels should be laying points on the road to anyone. UNLV after all required theatrics to escape Idaho State in Week Zero to get away with a win, despite being a 30.5-point favorite. However, because the Rebels beat up on Sam Houston State and a UCLA team that is a shell of its former self, all is forgotten. This is an entirely different kettle of fish.

The Redhawks haven’t been in the market’s crosshairs since it was vying for the MAC title in December until Ohio ran buckshot on them and smashed them 34-3. The Hawks would win the Arizona Bowl with a 43-17 thumping of Colorado State but no one remembers that. Since then, Miami started off 0-2 but let us preface that they traveled to Wisconsin and Rutgers, two Big Ten sides to start off their campaign. UNLV is undefeated but again they were feasting on cupcakes and catching the Bruins at the perfect time. This could be the best team that the Rebels actually will face thus far this season and they are doing it on in hostile confines. Meanwhile the Redhawks are taking a step down against a Group of Five colleague. The fact that the Rebels aren’t even trusted to spot a field goal to the Redhawks in Oxford tell us that Miami is a serious threat here. Forget any points, take the Hawks outright.
