Love Nevada in this game. Fresno St has a poor defense and I think Nevada gets it done here with a SU win.

I can't figure this Fresno St. team out - they've killed me this year.  Sharp

I agree CollegeSharp. Fresno has murdered me. I've bet them 3 times and lost all 3. I do like Nevada this time. But I just never know which Fresno team will show up.

 Fresno St. covered their first game against Rutgers, and has not showed up since. Last week lost SU to La Tech.,week prior  barley squeeked by Utah St ,  and had trouble with Idaho.

I have it 41 to 31 Wolfpack

Nevada #2 rushing offense vs. Fresno State #106 rushing defense
Nevada #3 rushing defense vs.Fresno State #23 rushing offense
 
Last year was a 49-41 loss for Nevada in which they out yarded Fresno State 702 - 475. Current starter Kaepernick (and WAC #2 rusher) stepped in for injured QB in 2nd quarter as a freshman.
 
The achilles heel of Nevada is their abysmal #95 pass defense but I don't see Fresno being able to take advantage of that -- as they haven't really taken advantage of anything all season
 
-Throw in Nevada coming off of a bye.
 
86% of the public on Fresno State?
 
 Vegas isn't worried about Buffalo, or TCU, or Va Tech - because they are going to get it all back on the Friday Night Square Pick of the Week.

Nevada - 36                          Fresno St - 34
Wolfpack +2              under 71
Wolfpack might not be a good opponent to play after coming off a SU loss to LA Tech.

This game is a 50/50 and could go either way although Nevada will probably come out on top... Too close of a game to bet for me...  I like UVA and Rice so far...  Still analyzing...

This game has some of the craziest line movement I've seen all year.  You have a MAJOR consensus home favorite turned dog over the course of the week.
 
Got Nevada +1.5, but now they are 1.5 point dogs!  I guess it looks like I'm on the right side, but I'm starting to get an itchy trigger finger and may lay heavier.

Think you got the right side of this one WIZ. This game reminds me so much of the BYU @ TCU game earlier this year. TCU opens as small dogs, but ends up being a small favorite even with the public being all over BYU. It was the craziest line movement I've seen all year, until this game. TCU trashed BYU so if the situational trend holds, NEV should be the team to take.

What does everyone think about the total?  My book has it at 71.

Both Ryan Mathews (1st string RB) and Lonyae Miller (2nd string RB) are doubful due to injury.  Strong possibility that Anthony Harding (3rd string RB) will be the starter tomorrow night.

Fresno St was projected to be in BCS contention before the season started. They started off the season strong but went all down hill for some reason. When my Warriors beat them this season in Fresno I thought it was a huge upset but looking at Fresno as of late I don't think it was an upset at all.

Fresno St made Utah St look like Boise State a couple of weeks ago. Fresno St just got beat by La Tech as well and struggled against Idaho. Just can't figure out what happened to this Fresno St team.

I'll probably lay off this game and wait until Saturday. The Wed & Thurs games were very nice to me and I would hate to push my luck with this game.

Good luck everyone

Nice job Big D...I am looking for some small action on this game, maybe an over, but I have trouble pushing the enter key on anything in the 70's.
I hit first half TCU and under in both halves of V Tech but, I lost a piece back on that last minute drive by the Utes...killer...

I do not know these teams so I will rely on others as well as the data....but I have no feel..
