Nevada vs Middle Tennessee Pick
Nevada’s offense struggled last week, scoring only 7 points against Montana State after producing 49 in its opener. Middle Tennessee has been more consistent and was only 2 points away from starting the season undefeated. Gagliano gives the Blue Raiders the more dependable passing attack, while Martin and Brown provide enough balance on the ground. Nevada will lean heavily on Kelley, but Middle Tennessee can load the box until one of the Wolf Pack quarterbacks proves capable of consistently completing passes. Look for the Blue Raiders to take advantage of home-field advantage and earn the outright win in a competitive matchup.
