UNLV opened as a 10.5-point favorite against New Mexico. By kickoff six days later, UNLV had ballooned to a 16.5-point favorite. The Rebels scored on their first five possessions and easily won, 56-14.
Hours before the Nov. 4 kickoff, an alert was sent out by a licensed independent integrity monitor regarding suspicious wagering on the game, sports betting operators told Action Network. The alert was triggered by a large U.S. sportsbook that first identified the abnormal betting activity.
