This spread opened as high as WKU -4.5 in some markets, so the current pick’em price illustrates Nevada emerging as a popular Week 1 position. However, we just don’t see the value in the Wolf Pack. Entering their third year under Jeff Choate, the struggling program is just 3-9 at home the past two seasons, often amid lackluster fan support, and has lost both home openers. With 65 new players, Western Kentucky saw some of the most significant roster turnover in the country. Even so, the Hilltoppers have developed a winning culture under Tyson Helton, winning at least 8 games in 6 of his 7 seasons. We’re relying on this track record to provide value on WKU at this discounted price.
