Sacramento State vs. Nevada Prediction

I’m on Sacramento State and the points here. I just think that Sacramento State is still a very well coached team and likely will be in the FCS playoffs mix as we progress throughout the season and a loss to South Dakota State is nothing to sneeze at for this team. Nevada on the other side I think will be lucky to be a two-win team this season and this could very well be one of those losses in my opinion. I’ll take Sac State here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Sacramento State +6.5
