Nevada is on a three-game losing streak
The Nevada Wolf Pack (2-9; 6-5 ATS; 2-5 Conf.) lost at Colorado State 30-20 in Week 12, extending their losing streak to three games. After a 27-14 defeat to Hawaii and a 41-24 loss at Utah State, the Wolf Pack battled bravely against the Rams and covered a 12.5-point spread.
Nevada was outgained by Colorado State 414-327 in total yards. The Wolf Pack made it a three-point game midway through the third quarter but couldn’t find a way to come out on top. Sophomore quarterback Brendon Lewis went 18-of-24 for 169 yards and carried the pigskin 14 times for 61 yards and a touchdown, while junior running back Sean Dollars had 20 totes for 69 yards.
Freshman quarterback AJ Bianco got a starting call last week but was benched after throwing two interceptions in the first quarter. Nevada’s offense has struggled all season long, tallying 18.4 points per game (125th in the nation) on 174.5 passing yards (116th) and 134.5 rushing yards (93rd).
On the other side of the ball, the Wolf Pack are yielding 32.6 points per contest (113th). Their defense is 122nd in the nation in passing yards (262.0 per game) and 120th in rushing yards (182.6).

Rating:
There is nothing to play for in this game which makes it tough to bet on. The Cowboys are arguably a much better team than the Wolf Pack, who have been pretty bad on both sides of the ball so far this season, so I’m going with Wyoming to win and cover a 10.5-point spread.
Wyoming’s passing game should be too much for the Wolf Pack. The Cowboys’ ground game is dangerous, too, and I’m expecting Wyoming’s offense to make a difference in this matchup. Wyoming is 4-1 ATS in its last five encounters with the Wolf Pack, who have gone 1-9 SU and 2-8 ATS in their previous ten outings at home.
Prediction: Take the Wyoming Cowboys -10.5 (-110)

Although the Wolf Pack’s offense will struggle to move the ball against the Cowboys’ defense, I think the line has been set pretty low. Wyoming shouldn’t have any problems moving the chains in this matchup. Nevada surrenders 5.3 yards per carry, and the Cowboys have plenty of offensive weapons to torture the Wolf Pack.
Each of Nevada’s last four contests has seen at least 41 points on the scoreboard. The over is 7-2 in Nevada’s last nine outings in the conference play. On the other side, three of Wyoming’s previous four showings on the road have produced 41 or more points in total.
Prediction: Go over 41.0 points (-110)
