Each week this college football season, I’ll offer my betting picks for every Mountain West game. I’ll keep myself honest by tracking my win-loss total, both straight up and against the spread. Last week, I went 3-1, foiled by Hawaii in my quest for a perfect week. As a result, Hawaii fired coach Norm Chow.
Thursday game
* Nevada (-4.5) at Fresno State: Reluctantly, I’ll pick Nevada simply because Fresno State isn’t very good. We can’t completely trust this Wolf Pack team yet after the losses to UNLV and Wyoming, but Nevada should prevail in this one.
