Grand Canyon Lopes vs. Nevada Wolf Pack Prediction

I’m on Grand Canyon and the points here. I know it’s kind of tempting to look at Nevada at home off of the road loss in a tough building in New Mexico, but Grand Canyon is an experienced team that isn’t going to be afraid of going on the road to face Nevada here and the Lopes have already picked up some decent wins in their debut season in the Mountain West. I think this is going to be a tough matchup and could come down to the wire. Give me the Lopes and the points.
