Nevada
With Week 9 competition quickly approaching, Nevada is set to enter the contest as the 64th team in the country in terms of points scored. The team is scoring 30.4 points per contest, compared to the 27.7 points per game it’s giving up (77th nationwide).

On offense, the Wolf Pack are balanced. They are 60th in passing offense and 59th in running offense, as they’re throwing for 240.9 yards per contest compared to 171.4 yards per game on the ground.
So far this season, Nevada is 4-3 straight up. It’s also 4-3 ATS, and it’s going up against a team with similar success in that particular category.

Hawaii
Through eight weeks, Hawaii is 4-2-1 ATS. The problem if you’re a fan is that this has only equated to a 2-5 record straight up, largely because of a completely lackluster offense.
So far this season, the Warriors are just 112th in the nation in points scored per contest. The team is scoring 21 points per game, which is 5.1 less than what it’s giving up at this point in the process.
Although the team is balanced on offense, that’s not necessarily a good thing for a team that could desperately use greater success in at least one area. The team is 93rd in passing offense and 81st in rushing offense.

Week 9 NCAA Football
The Warriors have been good ATS this season, but with the number being less than a touchdown against Nevada look for the Wolf Pack to take a win not just straight up, but against the spread as well.

This game won’t move the needle much for fans across the nation — especially with contests like Ole Miss and LSU getting the day started — but keep an eye on the spread as the weekend gets closer, as anything more than a touchdown might be worth reconsidering.
