What to Know
The Nevada Wolf Pack and the Colorado State Rams are set to square off in a Mountain West matchup at 9 p.m. ET Nov. 27 at Canvas Stadium. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
Nevada fought the good fight in their overtime game against the Air Force Falcons last Friday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result, falling 41-39. That makes it the first time this season the Wolf Pack have let down their home crowd. Nevada’s loss came about despite a quality game from WR Romeo Doubs, who caught 11 passes for two TDs and 159 yards. Carson Strong’s 61-yard touchdown toss to Doubs in the fourth quarter made for one of the most memorable moments of the night.
Meanwhile, Colorado State was within a late touchdown of stealing the victory, but they took the “L” against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors 50-45. Colorado State’s defeat came about despite a quality game from QB Todd Centeio, who passed for five TDs and 527 yards on 47 attempts. Near the top of the highlight reel was Centeio’s 69-yard TD bomb to TE Cam Butler in the first quarter.
The Wolf Pack are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4-point margin of victory. Those burned by picking them against the spread last week might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.
Nevada is now 7-4 while Colorado State sits at 3-8. A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: Nevada is stumbling into the matchup with the 197th most rushing touchdowns allowed in the nation, having given up 18 on the season. The Rams have experienced some struggles of their own as they are 199th worst in the nation in passing touchdowns allowed, with 19 on the season. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
