Common Opponents:

Boise State. Both lost to Boise, but Lafayette got destroyed in that game. It wasn’t close. Nevada looked like they were headed towards the same fate, but stormed back in the fourth quarter, and had a chance to win it at the end. Advantage: NEVADA.

Prediction:

This is a low spread. Nevada QB Cody Fajardo is hands down the best player in this game, and it will likely show. This spread should be at least a TD, if not more. Lafayette got blown out in their four losses. The only game in which Nevada really didn’t show up was the game against Fresno. I have to go with Nevada in this one, and it might not be close. I would take the Wolfpack for anything under ten. I don’t care that the game is practically a home game for the Cajuns. They won’t stop Fajardo Pick: NEVADA
