The Nevada Wolfpack are 6-1 SU and 5-2 ATS on the season. They are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games as an underdog and 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 games in December. The San Jose State Spartans are 5-0 SU on the season and 4-0-1 ATS.

The Spartans have a strong defense, but they are better at stopping the run than the pass. I think their secondary will struggle to slow down a Nevada team who ranks ninth in the nation for passing yards per game. Last week, Wolfpack QB Carson Strong threw five TD passes in a 37-26 win against Fresno State.

Sitting third in the Mountain West standing, this is more or less a must-win game for Nevada if it wants to make it to the conference championship and I like the desperate Wolfpack to get it done as an underdog.

8* play on Nevada.
