Nevada Wolf Pack vs. San Jose State Spartans Prediction

I’m on Nevada here. It’s a big number for Nevada to lay on the road but the thing here is that San Jose State is borderline auto-fade right now, regardless of where this team is playing. More often than not, San Jose State has gotten drilled and I don’t really expect that to change here. I think the Wolf Pack add to San Jose State’s misery and bag a win and cover on the road here. Give me Nevada.
