Way under

Wyoming is peaking. This is a snoozer for Nevada. Chance of a game.

Over.

Nevada is the best team to come to the AA in a long time. I was at the Wyoming upset over highly ranked SDSU years ago and that SDSU team was not on the level of this Nevada team.

What is more baffling to me is the 21 point spread for tonight’s game. If we play like we did against CSU, we can beat these guys. It’s too bad that Maldonado is out, as he is our best defender. If we can contain Merrill, we win I think

:? CSU is a bad team and a horrible team away from Moby. That was a game that people paying attention picked the Pokes to win. Utah State has lost 1 game all year at home and plays very tough at home destroying most teams. If this game stays within 10, I'll be happy. But if I had to bet, I would absolutely take the over on the 20.5 spread. Don't be fooled.

This game is a big "L" no matter how you slice it. I see one of four scenarios playing out and all of them have Wyoming losing

#1: Nevada and Wyoming play their "A" game...take the over.

#2: Nevada plays their "A" game and Wyoming looks hungover from the CSU win...take the over.

#3: Nevada sleepwalks through an unchallenging road game while Wyoming plays uninspired...take the over.

#4: Nevada is uninspired by the opponent and the Pokes play with cohesion that has not been seen consistently this season...take the under (still a Wyoming loss).

I think scenario #4 is the least likely...take the over.

Nevada with a full week off before that game with SDSU looming the following week, serious potential of the ultimate trap game.

Not saying we'll win but it's going to be very easy to overlook Wyoming however I think the age and maturity of the Nevada players should prevail.
