00:00Number 10, Boise State, number 20 UNLV, a rematch of a great game to end out October

00:09on a Friday night in Las Vegas.

00:12Boise State went into Las Vegas, beat UNLV and covered as a four-point road favorite

00:18this game in Boise, and yet the Broncos just a three-and-a-half point favorite.

00:23Joe, more than likely, this game and the winner is going to claim a spot as an automatic bid

00:30as one of the five highest-ranked conference champs to the college football playoff.

00:34So who earns that right and a Mountain West title tonight?

00:38Listen, Ben, I said it way back when, when you go back to when Sluka decided that they

00:45weren't paying him enough money at UNLV and wanted to transfer.

00:50And at that time, boy, all signs were looking like this was a real UNLV team here as Barry

00:56Odom is just, you know, he is a guy whose name is going to be brought up at a lot of

01:00very high-profile jobs sooner rather than later here, Ben.

01:05But I said it then, I said, this team, if they are able to come out and face this kind

01:10of adversity, go through the ringer like this, and yet here we are, they have made it to

01:15this point.

01:16They're in the conference championship game.

01:18They are battle-tested as far as I'm concerned.

01:20Yes, it's the blue turf.

01:22I get that.

01:24They just won a game in San Jose State in absolutely horrific weather conditions here.

01:30There won't be rain.

01:31There won't be sleet.

01:32There won't be anything that, it will be cold, but it's just another thing the running Rebels

01:37will overcome, I think, in this game.

01:40Not only am I taking the points, I'm betting them on the money line here.

01:44I get the better defense in UNLV and I get the better special teams unit in UNLV.

01:51That matters in games like this.

01:53They did a good job of limiting Gente to first go around.

01:57They're going to do it again here, Ben, only this time they're going to win the game, UNLV,

02:02all day for me tonight.
