UNLV was a 40-1 long shot before the season to make the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff. Now the Rebels are essentially slight +165 underdogs to make the playoff. That is their price on the money line to beat Boise State in Friday’s Mountain West championship game in Idaho. “The winner of this game is almost certain to be the non-Power Four representative in the College Football Playoff, so the odds for each team to make the (CFP) will be the money line for this game,” Caesars Sportsbook head of football Joey Feazel said. “Both UNLV and Boise are ranked higher than Army. Thus, a win should make them the highest-ranked non-Power Four team.” The 12-team playoff field will feature the five highest-ranked conference champions — the Power Four winners and top Group of Five champ — and the seven highest-ranked remaining teams. Sharps back UNLV Sharp bettors are backing the Rebels over the Broncos. Boise State opened as high as a 61⁄2-point favorite at Circa Sports on Saturday night before sharp money on UNLV caused the line to quickly drop to 5. It dipped as low as 31⁄2 on Sunday before the consensus line inched back up to 4 on Monday. “They took 61⁄2, 6 and 5,” Circa sportsbook manager Nick Bogdanovich said. “I do think the Rebels are live. I definitely understand the move. “I made it 5, but the 5 was an arrow down. In other words, I favor UNLV in this game. I just think that their current form is a little better than Boise. Game 1 could’ve went either way. I think 4 is a good number. I think it will sit 4 most of the week.” Boise State (11-1, 6-6 ATS), which whipped the Rebels 44-20 in last year’s Mountain West title game, covered as a 4-point favorite over UNLV in its 29-24 win Oct. 25 at Allegiant Stadium. But the Broncos have failed to cover three of their last four games, including their 28-21 win over UNR as 231⁄2-point favorites and their 17-13 victory over Wyoming as 221⁄2-point favorites. The Rebels (10-2, 7-5 ATS) covered their last two games, including Saturday’s 38-14 rout of UNR. UNLV is 19-7 straight up and 17-9 ATS since the start of last season under coach Barry Odom. The total on Friday’s game has dipped from 591⁄2 to 58 at Circa. Books rooting for Rebels The Westgate has liability on Boise State to make the playoff. “We’re going to be pretty big UNLV fans in that game for a number of reasons,” Westgate vice president of race and sports John Murray said. “We don’t want Boise State to make it to the College Football Playoff, and we do think that UNLV making the (CFP) will be really good for business.” The Westgate will offer UNLV and Boise State at -105 on Friday as part of its season-long reduced juice promotion. “We’ve been doing that for Rebels games all season,” Murray said. “The team’s already working on a prop menu for that game. We’re expecting that to be a pretty marquee game for us on Friday.” Caesars and Station Sports reported early action on UNLV, which led the Broncos 24-23 early in the fourth quarter in their first meeting before Ashton Jeanty, the nation’s leading rusher, scored on a 1-yard touchdown run on fourth-and-goal. “We’ve seen this number drop industrywide,” Red Rock Resort sportsbook director Chuck Esposito said. “These two teams played a close game earlier this season, and UNLV had its chances. “My guess is we’re going to have a ginormous handle on this game on Friday night.” Contact reporter Todd Dewey at tdewey@reviewjournal.com.

LeBron James Remains Most Viewed NBA Player On Social Media, Kevin Durant Not Even In Top 10

By Jody Godoy (Reuters) - Andrew Ferguson, President-elect Donald Trump's pick to chair the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, has expressed the desire to go after Big Tech companies while taking a hands-off approach to regulating artificial intelligence. Ferguson's views on social media, data privacy, AI and the need to boost American competitiveness are likely to affect the regulator's approach to companies including Meta Platforms, Microsoft and Alphabet's Google. Here are some of the views Ferguson has expressed in statements during his term as an FTC commissioner which began in April and ends in 2030. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE The "pro-regulation side of the AI debate" is "the wrong one," Ferguson said. "A knee-jerk regulatory response will only squelch innovation, further entrench Big Tech incumbents, and ensure that AI innovators move to jurisdictions friendlier to them — but perhaps hostile to the United States," he said in a September statement on the FTC's report on social media. The report called for comprehensive legislation to protect users' data and prevent AI from perpetuating discrimination. ONLINE PRIVACY Ferguson has described the vast collection, aggregation and indefinite storage of data on social media and internet users in the U.S. as an "online privacy crisis" that regulators should focus on. However, he has warned against regulating how such information is used to target advertising. "If regulators and lawmakers attempt to ban or seriously curtail targeted advertising, they will be undoing the balance of the online economy," he said. CONTENT MODERATION POLICIES Ferguson has criticized social media platforms for instituting "Orwellian policies banning nebulous categories of content like 'misinformation,' 'disinformation,' and 'hate speech.'" The FTC could take action against social media platforms if their terms of service misled users about content moderation policies. With more transparent policies, users could decide if they want to stay on the platforms, Ferguson said in December. "But the choice would be real only if there are suitable free-speech-respecting substitutes to the censorious platforms," Ferguson said, praising Elon Musk's "unusually firm commitment to free and open debate" after the billionaire took over social media platform X. PLATFORM COLLABORATION ON CONTENT Ferguson has expressed concern that social media platforms may have coordinated in banning Trump in 2021, taking down posts they deemed harmful during the COVID-19 pandemic, and restricting dissemination of stories about Hunter Biden's laptop computer. "If the platforms colluded amongst each other to set shared censorship policies, such an agreement would be tantamount to an agreement not to compete on contract terms or product quality," which would violate antitrust laws, Ferguson said. ADVERTISER COORDINATION Coordination between advertisers to pull money from platforms such as X over content concerns could violate antitrust laws, Ferguson said. The World Federation of Advertisers' Global Alliance for Responsible Media, which was formed to help advertisers avoid their ads being placed next to harmful content on social media, shut down after X sued, accusing it of facilitating group boycotts. Ferguson has said the FTC could investigate similar efforts. KIDS AND TEENS ONLINE Congress should pass a law that would require online service providers to give parents more control over children's online privacy, Ferguson said. "Congress should empower parents to impose whatever level of supervision and control over internet messaging they feel is right for their family and their children," he said.
