In this Nevada Wolf Pack vs Air Force Falcons Prediction, Nevada is coming as -9 road favorites. Nevada is rightfully favored, as they are by far the better team in this matchup, but have been terrible on the road, and are struggling to cover spreads lately, as they are 2-8 against the spread in their last 10 games. Both teams are 8-2 to the over in their last 10 games, and their previous meeting this season went over the point total. I expect this to continue in this game, so take the over once again.
