San José State vs Nevada Prediction
In this San José State vs Nevada Prediction, Nevada is coming as -15.5 home favorites. Nevada has been the better team this season and have been very strong at home, while San Jose State has been winless on the road and have been struggling lately, with a 1-7 record in their last 8 games and 3-6 against the spread in their last 9. On the flip side, Nevada is 8-2 in its last 10 games and 6-4 against the spread and have been better both on the offensive and the defensive end, so I expect them to take care of business at home in this matchup. Take Nevada and lay the points.
