Support for picks on Nevada
Rejuvenated Wolf Pack in much better shape, both personnel wise and mentally, after last week's rousing 2H comeback win at BYU. Our MWC sources say that result likely rescues the season for Brian Polian's outfit, which had previously endured narrow back to back home losses to MW contenders Boise & CSU. Indeed, Nevada has competed admirably vs. competition much tougher than Hawaii, even on the road, where Wolf Pack is Nevada is 2-1 SU and 3-0 ATS, with SU wins at San Jose and aforementioned upset win (as 10 point dogs) at BYU, with their only road loss a very good showing, a 7 point loss but easy ATS cover as 20 point dogs at Arizona. And now Hawaii HC Norm Chow has been forced to turn back to scatter-armed, twice-benched Ikaika Woolsey (only 48%) due to injuries at QB. Big edge at QB to Pack Sr. Cody Fajardo, hurt for LY's 31-9 Nevada win over UH but who led 69-24 Pack romp at Aloha Stadium in 2012. Acknowledge 4-0 UH home spread mark TY, but note that (i) they lost both games TY SU as home dogs (to Wash and Oregon State) and they trailed both of those games at JT, by 7 to Wash and 31 to OSU, thus supporting our Nevada picks on ML and FH line.
