Northwestern/Nevada

What are everyone's thoughts on this game?

It's the only Friday game, so it will get some action.

I'm leaning NW and the over, why am I wrong?

Are we talking about the same northwestern that lost to new hampshire 17-34 and barely beat e. michigan, both at home? I just can't bet on NW until they have some semblance of control on offense.

No Basanez = lost

Id agree. I think Nevada wins this.

I strongly recommend betting Northwestern +7 at -106 odds on the Mansion exchange for $10. That way I'll be locked in at Nevada -7 +106 for one unit, a line which I really want to be on [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I think Northwestern is horrible this year, and Nevada has a solid squad. Because NW is in the Big Ten, Nevada will be playing with a chip on their shoulder, even though they're already the better team, and are at home.

Without knowing much if Nevada is at home I like them as bad as NW looked this year.

Northwestern has looked bad, but their relative strength has been run defense, while they've looked dangerouly vulnerable to a decent passing attack. Neavada has a talented, senior, three year starter in Jeff Rowe, and runs an unusual offense that Northwestern is unlikely to be fully prepared for with Penn State next week. And it's Northwestern's first road game of the year. I think all signs point to a statement game for the Wolfpack.
