Sports betting continues Saturday as the #25-ranked Nevada Wolf Pack (7-1) and their high-powered offense continue their climb in the AP polls. Idaho (4-4) will try to bounce back from an embarrassing 45-10 blowout loss at Hawaii last week. After being a bottom feeder for so many seasons, Idaho won eight games last year but was blown out by Nevada 70-45.

Nevada senior quarterback Colin Kaepernick is top-10 in the nation in total offense averaging 305 yards per game. He leads a Wolf Pack offense that is #3 in the nation averaging 520 yards per game and 41 points per game. Sports betting experts know that teams that were embarrassed a season ago often bring their best against that opponent in the next meeting, and Idaho has made significant strides on defense with upgraded personnel from seasons past.

The Vandals have a tough task taking on Hawaii and Nevada in back to back weeks, as those two teams are among the most explosive offensive and scoring teams in the nation. After allowing at least 34 points per game in six straight seasons, Idaho has improved their scoring defense to 25 points per game in 2010.

However, the Vandals run defense still allows 165 yards per game rushing at 4.5 yards per rush and must try to tackle a Nevada offense that averages 300 yards rushing per game and 6.3 yards per rush. The Wolf Pack are a sports betting favorite with their explosive offense and the Vandals figure to counter with a strong air attack that is #2 in the WAC averaging 338 yards per game.

Idaho’s secret weapons may help them to a cover in this contest as Bobby Cowan leads the WAC in punting and their kickoff coverage is also the leagues best with the most touchbacks.

NCAA Insider Tip: Nevada is just 3-10 ATS as a conference road favorite of 14 or less points and Idaho is 3-0 SU at home this season and have won seven of their last nine at home.

Last year Nevada rolled up 662 yards including 484 rushing and after facing the air attack of Hawaii last week, Idaho must adjust to Nevada’s ‘pistol’ offense and focus on stopping the run. Nevada is a deserved sports betting favorite, however a closer look at their stats shows they have faced mostly inferior competition and in their only road game against a quality opponent they were held to 21 points and less than 300 yards offense at Hawaii in defeat.

Nevada coach Chris Ault has actually questioned his team’s effort on the defensive side of the ball and Idaho should get their share of yards and points through the air this week with plenty of back door potential if the margin gets over two touchdowns. Following last year’s embarrassing loss to Nevada the Vandals, will play determined and strong this week as a big sports betting home underdog.
