Every week this college football season, RGJ columnist Chris Murray will offer his betting picks for every MW game. We’ll keep him honest by tracking his win-loss total, both straight up and against the spread.
Thursday games
* Southern Utah at Utah State (no line): Utah State has one of the best teams west of the Rockies. Southern Utah went 3-9 and was outscored by 149 points in 2014. The campuses are separated by 300 miles, but they’re not in the same solar system in football. The pick: Utah State 38, Southern Utah 10
* UC Davis at Nevada (no line): The Wolf Pack beat UC Davis, 36-7, in Brian Polian’s debut at Nevada in 2013.
