Nevada vs Washington Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup with a record of 1-0, but Nevada will be at home and is the favorite to get the win. Washington lost a lot of production from last season and while they did bring in one of the best transfers in the portal, I don’t think their roster is set up for success. Nevada struggled with Sam Houston in the first half, which is a concern, but their offense exploded in the second half. I don’t love fading a power four team, but I just can’t get behind this Washington team yet. Take Nevada here.
