The Wolf Pack won outright 28-26 last week against a Troy club that self-destructed following a 14-0 lead. At the risk of getting stung twice by the same team, there’s simply too much value to be ignored. This line opened Georgia Southern -5 and would have been at least -7 in Week 0. The Eagles have a high-powered offense and had the lead in the fourth quarter against MWC front-runner Boise State before falling 56-45. Dual-threat quarterback JC French had 361 total yards and will likely be the best player on the field Saturday. Nevada’s home field was once a daunting venue for visitors, but the Wolf Pack have only won there once in each of the past two seasons.

There may not be a Group of Five team in the country that improved more this offseason than Nevada. They still have plenty of faults, but I'm not sure the market has fully caught onto this team yet.
