Result: Loss
ASA play on 8* California -3 over Nevada, Saturday 10:30 PM ET - Nevada is a bit of a media darling with QB Carson Strong garnering Heisman attention which has impacted the number and forced it to be set lower than it should be. The Wolfpack offense posted some impressive numbers a year ago with Strong throwing 27 TD’s and over 2,800- passing yards last season. Nevada was 7-2 SU in a shortened season a year ago, but their record and numbers were a by-product of weak competition. The Wolfpack didn’t have a win over a team ranked higher than 53rd in our final rankings and four of those wins came versus teams ranked 97th or worse. So even though Nevada returns 22 overall starters, and had a solid record on paper, they aren’t as good as advertised. Cal is also loaded with returning talent and should be eager after playing just four games a year ago. The Bears return their starting QB in Chase Garbers who has 23 career starts under his belt. Cal has experience on the other side of the football with 9 starters back on a defense that can nullify the Wolfpack offense. The Bears have struggled in the Pac-12 going back to 2018 with a 9-13 SU record and a negative point differential, but they are 7-1 SU their last eight non-conference games with an average MOV of +9PPG. Grab the value and Cal.
