Nevada Wolf Pack vs. Boise State Broncos Betting Prediction
Nevada is 12-4-2 ATS this year, including 6-3-1 ATS in games away from home. Recently the Wolf Pack have beaten a lot of good teams, and they've covered five in a row. Boise State is 7-1 at home but just 4-3 ATS in home games. The Broncos have been hot too, but the underdog has gone 6-0-1 ATS in the past seven meetings, and in the last five, the road team has gone 4-0-1 ATS. Back the visitors here to at least cover, as they've been great against the spread this year, even on the road.
Prediction: Nevada +5.5 (-110)
