UC-Davis vs. Nevada Prediction
I’m backing Nevada here. I just like this Wolf Pack team a lot, especially at home, where they’ve shut down a lot of teams this season. UC-Davis has been a solid money maker for us bettors in years past, but this UC-Davis team just feels different this time around and not in a good way. Give me Nevada for another strong win at home here.
