*10* MASSACRE on New Mexico.

It's been a disappointing season for the UNLV Rebels, who come into tonight's game at New Mexico with a losing record in conference play. They've dropped two of their last three, including a 67-52 home loss to San Diego State in their last game. My money is on the Lobos as a home favorite.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Lobos are 6-2 against Mountain West opponents this season, and they covered the spread in all six of those wins. They have won three straight, and their last home game was an 84-55 win over Air Force.

2. Home Cookin' - The Rebels have failed to cover in four of their last five road games, and they are 1-4 ATS in their last five against teams with a winning record. The Lobos are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games.

3. X-Factor - The Lobos are hot, hitting 51.9 percent from the field, averaging just shy of 80 points per game over their last five.

Selection: This is a play on the New Mexico Lobos (10*)
