Nevada is coming off a 2-10 season and SMU is coming off a banner 11-3 season where they won the American Athletic Conference and is now in the ACC.   SMU has a lot of returning starters on both the offense and defense.  It’s only the season opener, on the road for SMU, and Nevada does have some good skill players that will keep the Wolfpack in the game and cover the number.  SMU wins the game in a competitive matchup.
