Pick
I’m sticking with Nevada here. This may be the best Lobos team that Nevada will have to face over the course of their current win streak against New Mexico, but Nevada’s been flat out dominant at home and pretty much overall against the spread and I just don’t see that changing here. I’ll lay the points with Nevada in this one.
