Boise State at Nevada picks and predictions
Prediction
Nevada 74, Boise State 70
Moneyline
PASS.
The Wolf Pack should win this game but are unplayable at -260. Similarly, the Broncos may struggle on the road and aren't worth the gamble at +210.
Against the spread
LEAN BOISE STATE +6.5 (-115).
The Broncos have covered in 5 of their last 6 games. They are 2-0 ATS in conference games and 3-0 ATS over their last 3. Boise State has won 8 of its last 9. Against a Nevada team that's not in the top 25 after knocking off a top-25 Colorado State, being a 6.5-point underdog is simply too much.
The Wolf Pack are 1-1 ATS in conference games and don't have the 3-point shooting (only one of their top-5 scorers shoots over 26% from deep) to pull away by a sizable margin. Back BOISE STATE +6.5 (-115).

Over/Under
BET OVER 140.5 (-115).
Nevada is 6-9 O/U this season, but that is mainly due to its defense. The Wolf Pack and have scored at least 72 in 7 of their last 8 games. Both teams have efficient scorers as 4 Broncos average double figures and the top 3 all shoot 48% or better from the field.
Boise State is 7-6 O/U and has gone Over in 4 of its last 6 games, scoring 78 or more in 4 of those 6. Both teams rank in the top 150 (of 362 programs in the country) in effective field percentage. Expect a game with efficient scoring and back OVER 140.5 (-115).
