College Basketball Betting Trends

Nevada

Nevada is 7-3-1 against the spread in their last 11 road games and 4-1-1 against the spread in their last six road games against a team with a winning home record.

Fresno State

The Bulldogs are just 2-5 against the spread in their last seven conference games, but 35-17 ATS in their last 52 games following a win.

Prediction:

These two are matched pretty similarly in terms of style and game plan, but Nevada comes into this game being much more battle-tested than Fresno State. The Wolf Pack played a pretty competitive non-conference schedule and they have much better results against common opponents. Nevada seems to be a legit contender on the national stage and it should show tonight.

College Basketball Prediction: Nevada -3.5
