Brian Montgomery, Staff Writer This game is a stepping stone for next season. A win against the Rebels would give SDSU a winning conference record and build momentum for 2001. So, as no surprise, I am going with the Aztecs in a shootout. Look for Lon Sheriff to hook up with J.R. Tolver for the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds. SDSU 35, UNLV 34 Chris Bordona Staff Writer SDSU has yet to win at home and the Rebels have yet to win on the road. However, UNLV still has a chance at a bowl game if it can win its last two games. The Aztecs’ season of defensive inconsistencies will enable the Rebels to prevail. UNLV 28, SDSU 10 David Cordero Sports Editor I was burned last week picking SDSU. In fact, in my two years of covering the team, the Aztecs are 2-7 at home. Although intellect tells me otherwise, I’ll go with my gut and pick the red and black to roll over the Rebels. SDSU 26, UNLV 10 Bruce Bourquin Staff Writer This ain’t Las Vegas, baby. SDSU will embarrass the Rebels, giving new meaning to the word spanking. If you’re a blood-thirsty Aztecs fan and staying over for the holidays, come watch a bloodbath at Qualcomm. SDSU 31, UNLV 13 Steve Mullins Assistant Sports Editor Dating back to last season, I have made 15 consecutive successful picks. Will my streak extend into next season? I’m not so sure. I don’t feel really strong about this one, but I’ll take the spoilers. SDSU 20, UNLV 17
