Nevada at Louisiana Tech

The Wolfpack pulled off a major BCS shattering upset last week, taking down the previously unbeaten Boise State Broncos, ending their 35-game regular season winning streak and their hopes of playing for a national championship. It will be very difficult for Nevada to summon the energy and intensity to avoid a letdown in this one. That game last week was their biggest game of the season and this one pales in comparison. Meanwhile, it now becomes the same opportunity for Louisiana Tech to take down the BCS boosting Wolfpack. The Bulldogs are a win shy of becoming Bowl eligible, so expect their "A" game here. The Wolfpack are in an ugly role off a big game and in taking to the road as a 3.5-10 point favorite, they are just 3-13 ATS in their last 16. The Bulldogs have one of the top records at home, covering games they shouldn't as they are 18-6 ATS in their last 24 as a home dog. They are also 8-1 ATS since last season vs. winning teams. Over the past three seasons, they are 11-3 ATS at home. I like Louisiana Tech here.
