The Nevada Wolf Pack will travel to play the Air Force Falcons in a Mountain West game on Saturday.

The Nevada Wolf Pack are 7-6 (1-1) this season and have lost two of their last three games. Nevada is coming off of a loss against Boise State by a score of 85-70 in their last game. Nevada allowed their opponent to shoot 50% from the field and lost the rebounding battle by 9 in the loss. Grant Sherfield led the Wolf Pack with 26 points and 7 assists in the game. Nevada is averaging 77.1 points per game and is giving up 75.9 points per game against, while also averaging 37.4 rebounds per game and 16.3 assists per game. Grant Sherfield is averaging 19.4 points per game and 6.6 assists per game, while Desmond Cambridge Jr. is averaging 17.2 points per game and 4.8 rebounds per game for the Wolf Pack. Nevada is shooting 44.3% on field goals, 77.2% on free throws, and 33.8% on three pointers.

The Air Force Falcons are 8-5 (1-1) this season and have lost four of their last five games. Air Force lost to Colorado State by a score of 67-59 in their last game. Air Force shot 52.3% from the field and made 10 three pointers in the win. Ethan Taylor led the Falcons with 19 points and 6 rebounds in the game. Air Force is averaging 58.9 points per game and is giving up 59.8 points per game against, while also averaging 28 rebounds per game and 13 assists per game. A.J. Walker is averaging 16.7 points per game and 3.4 rebounds per game, while Jake Heidbreder is averaging 9.4 points per game and 2.9 rebounds per game for the Falcons. Air Force is shooting 45.5% on field goals, 66% on free throws, and 35.8% on three pointers.

Nevada is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games. The under is 5-1 in Nevada’s last 6 games. Air Force is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. The under is 5-0 in Air Force’s last 5 games.

Air Force is really struggling right now and it stems from the inability to consistently score. Nevada has a much better scoring offense, but also gives up over 75 points per game. Nevada also is the better rebounding team here. I can’t back a team that can hardly score 60 points per game. I like Nevada here.

David’s Pick Nevada -9.5
