Nevada at Hawaii

At 3-4, Nevada has a shot at a bowl with a strong finish. They beat Air Force as a dog in their last road game, 28-25. Nevada's defense has been one of the best in the nation at tackling opponents behind the line of scrimmage, ranking #11 in the country, and is first in the Mountain West averaging 8.4 tackles for loss per game. Against Fresno State, Nevada held the Bulldogs to just 30 yards on the ground. Against Air Force, Nevada held the Falcons' vaunted triple-option attack to just 154 yards on the ground on 51 carries (3.09 yards per rush). The Hawaii offense has scored just 40 total points the last two contests. Nevada has won six of the last seven meetings with the Rainbow Warriors, so take the underdog to win the game in a defensive battle.
