The Fresno State Bulldogs will beat the Nevada Wolf Pack. The Fresno State Bulldogs will cover the spread, and the total will go under.

Statistically speaking, the Bulldogs have a significant edge heading into this matchup. They average 23 points per game, which is a stark contrast to the Wolf Pack’s 14.5 PPG. This discrepancy in offensive output suggests that Fresno State is capable of outscoring their opponent comfortably. Furthermore, the Bulldogs’ passing game is extremely efficient, completing passes at a rate of approximately 75.9%. In contrast, Nevada’s struggles in the air are evident as they complete only 52.2% of their attempts. The Bulldogs’ ability to move the ball through the air combined with their more effective scoring should dictate the pace of the game.

On the ground, while Nevada boasts a stronger rushing average at 205 yards per game, Fresno State’s defense has shown resilience against both run and pass offenses, allowing their opponents to score only within parameters that suggest a manageable approach for winning. The total points scored in this matchup is likely to remain under as Fresno State’s defensive strategy should limit Nevada’s scoring opportunities, aligning with their higher offensive output producing fewer possessions. As such, expect a low-scoring affair with Fresno State controlling the tempo and securing a comfortable win.
