First do not sleep on a WAC team as LA Tech nearly upset both Houston and Smiss losing by a combined 3 points and Nevada had a 20-3 lead over LA Tech in the 4th quarter before losing 24-20. I think Nevada's offense is more explosive and is converting 49.14 % on 3rd down while Smiss is at 43.5% both teams are the same defensively on 3rd down and Smiss gets much worse on the road 46%. Red Zone action, both teams have gotten there 55 times this year and Nevada 60% of the time turns them into TD's while Smiss 54.5%. Also Nevada is allowing 9 fewer attempts by opponents into the red zone. Game will be played on turf and Smiss is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 on turf while Nevada is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 as dogs.
