UNLV (+6.5) at Nevada (-6.5) NCAA Football Odds Preview and Game Analysis
The Wolf Pack will be coming into the game feeling that they are better than their opponents. Nevada won last year’s game by a 49-27 score-line to reclaim the Cannon in Sam Boyd Stadium on November 29th, 2014. In that game, Saturday Fajardo was on fire, rushing for 143 yards and a touchdown, and throwing for three additional scores. After going behind 17-14 at the half time break, Nevada staged a 35-10 comeback in the second half to ensure the Cannon was reclaimed. Even more relevantly, the Wolf Pack are coming into this game having beaten Buffalo 24-21 on Saturday in a closely contested game. James Butler ran for 177 yards and a touchdown while Don Jackson added 113 yards and two scores to ensure the points were in the bag. Butler’s 177 yards helped him to set a new career high for himself after the 166 yards he posted last year against UNLV.
