New Mexico Bowl

Time to kick the bowl season off. Here is my first pick.

Leans

Nevada +9 and under 77

Nevada- I don't see a lot of edges in this game. Both coaches are on solid ground and not under much pressure to win this bowl. Rich Rod has been well received and his team can certainly benefit from the extra practice. Nevada was in a bit of a rebuilding mode and would like to get momentum going into the off season. Nevada did not play the same type of schedule as Arizona but Zona stumbled quite a few times against better opposition.

I am not expecting a real fast start to this game and there will be some nervous moments taking both the dog and the under however the game should stay under when the dust settles. Nevada is a bit more battle tested and will be able to hold their own and stay within the 9.
