Fresno State is better than their record indicates, having faced Nebraska and Tulsa -- both on the road. They are well coached under Tim Deruyter and QB Chason Virgil (eight TDs, four INTs, and 1,169 yards) isn't playing like a freshman. The passing game is #47 in the nation with three wideouts getting over 330 yards receiving. They are a big dog to a Nevada squad with a losing record and a terrible defense at #103 in the country, allowing 456 yards per game. The run defense is one of the worst in the nation, ranked #125 and surrendering 272.6 yards per contest. Nevada comes off a 38-17 loss to Hawaii where they allowed 566 yards, including 344 yards rushing (8.6 yards per carry). The Wolf Pack is 5-13 ATS in October and Fresno State has covered four of the last five meetings, including a 42-20 victory when they last played here two years ago as a +7.5 dog. Back Fresno State.
