Hawaii and their high flying run and shoot offense take on the Nevada Wolfpack in Reno, Nevada on Saturday night. The late night Mountain West showdwn should be a good one as betters almost have a pick em’ here with the spread under two now.
Cole McDonald and the Hawaii offense are averaging 350 yards in the air this season as McDonald has been able to throw more deep passes as he has progressed through the program. Nevada on the other side has some injury concerns at QB with their freshman quarterback Carson Strong getting knocked out of last game with a knee injury.

With the spread at a pick em’ this game should be a great one. This Mountain West matchup will be an especially fun one with both teams having struggled on defense, allowing the fans to see some fireworks.
Nevada Wolfpack
Nevada has started the season 3-1, really impressing the rest of the Mountain West and even getting some national recognition with their win over Purdue in week one. Carson Strong and the Nevada offense will have to put up more points than their average of just 24 a game to overcome the Hawaii arsenal.
After being out last game with a knee injury, Strong looks to get back on the field and produce once again. Nevada has been particularly conservative on the passing attack in recent weeks, and we expect them to open it up a bit more against a strugglign Hawaii defense.
The Nevada defense has their own issues to figure out. Giving up almost 400 yards a game and 35 points a game on average isn’t going to win you many games. If they Wolfpack can force McDonald into bad situations throwing the ball, they will be able to force many turnovers as Hawaii is prone to do.

If Nevada is able to force some turnovers and get the crowd going in Reno on Saturday night, they should be able to get past Hawaii. We will see if Strong comes back completely healthy or not in week 5.
Hawaii Warriors
Hawaii has been fun to watch over the last four games. Going 3-1 while playing three PAC-12 teams and able to beat two of them at home thus far in 2019. The lone loss for the Warriors has come from a road trip to Washington where they ran into a buzz saw.
Cole McDonald will be the star of the Hawaii show on Saturday having passed for over 1300 yards and 13 touchdowns already in just four games, McDonald is in the top 10 passers in the country for yards and touchdowns. McDonald has trouble with interceptions which he will have to fix on Saturday as he has already thrown nine interceptions in just four games.
If the Hawaii offense can limit the turnover bug that they have faced, they will do just fine on the road in Nevada. The Warriors have had a brutal time winning on the main land in the past ten years, but have been stellar at home. Unfortunately for the Warriors they will have to find a way to win in Reno this week.

Free Week 5 NCAA Football Pick
Even with the road dissadvantage for the Warriors, I see them coming out of this game with a win. Nevada has too many questions at the most important positions and is going to really struggle stopping this offense all night.
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Hawaii +2.
I would even venture out and pick Hawaii to win straight up here, the two points aren’t going to do you much good in a game that Hawaii and Nevada play. With heavy passing teams you often see one team pull way ahead out in front of the other.
I am excited to see the Saturday night cap for college football. This will be a really interesting game with a lot on the line for both teams, the winner of this game controls their own desity in the Mountain West. Look for Hawaii to be charged up and tested as they go into Reno looking for a win.
