The Nevada Wolf Pack and the Tulane Green Wave will face each other today in the Idaho Potato Bowl, with Tulane currently favored by -1.5. Nevada’s quarterback, Carson Strong, was named the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year and for good reason. He was 227-327 with 2,587 yards, 22 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions. Strong and company will be able to move the ball against a Tulane defense that is soft against the pass and surrendering an average of 417.4 yards per game overall. The Green Wave offense is not prolific through the air but do have a formidable running game that is averaging 219.5 yards per game. If Nevada can slow down Tulane’s running attack and cut down on senseless penalties that have burned them all year, they win this game.
TODAY’S PICK: NEVADA WOLF PACK +1.5
