Good stuff. I'm thinking the MW is a little down this year w last year's great cream of the crop teams taking a step back and SDSU maybe steps up, seems kinda mixed in between.
Not on Nevada they seem a little tough to predict with Malik Henry, sounds like a good spring for him after good JC stint and the tougher conf games are in the latter half where i like sure thing losses to happen earlier when the team is still formulating if im going under.. but agree their schedule is tough and Hawaii is def no gimme. Nevada D doesn't sound like they'll be improved either.
For MW i saw Phil Steele was pretty high on AF and recall when they're up like in '14-'16 they can be a really tough out even LY they were hanging tough with the top dogs in a few spots so a little improvement will go a long way if (my assumption) the conf is overall down a step... RSW at 6.5 and i see 6 pretty good shots at a win for them, add in i think toss up vs Navy/Army (took army to the wire ly, blew out navy) and leaves a few maybe less likely shots at BSU/UtahSt/Fres/Colorado which could just be insurance. Problem for them is a rough schedule 10 game stretch but they did that LY and i'll trust service academy guys will handle it.
Also like UNLV at 4 they got murdered w injuries last year after winning their first couple easy games then Rogers got injured... they snuck 2 of final 3 at year end when he returned w help from Gillam (great game vs SDSU) and combined this year won't force Rogers to be 'the (only) guy'... definitely seems like a tougher schedule and I think the number at 4 is a little ominous to get bets toward the under since everyone just remembers them as a doormat last year, if it was just Gillam i'd say maybe 3.5 is an accurate RSW. I could see them winning to 5 or 6 without anyone's jaws dropping over it but 3 would be a pretty big disappointment.
Best of luck on NV and rest of this year buddy!

Def on same page with you, quite a few in CUSA will be tougher this year WKU could have a tough time finding wins. I'm lookin at something close to that, MTSU 5.5 will be a tough ask even w extra home game so leaning under for them....
No shot - @Mich, @Iowa
Very tough - Duke, Marshall, @FAU, @UNT, FIU
Toss up - @Charlotte, @Wku
Pretty winnable - Rice, ODU
Should win - Tenn St. (MT up 10-9 in series history).
So get an early Tenn St win check and then need to bag at least one more from the stronger teams. After Duke things get realllly tough but I could see maybe they bag FIU, hard to gauge the Panthers this year, they were very lucky on their easy conf schedule in '18 but they return alot of experience, winning attitude, etc won't be an easy out ....
So I think 2-6 is an optimistic start for them and if not demoralized they gotta bag the last 4... @Charlotte, Rice, ODU, @Wku. Charlotte sneaky good D and Benny Lemay is not gunna be an easy out especially a roadie at the tail end of that brutal stretch... Char's lead in is not nearly as tough and i also expect with an easy tail end they will also have an outside bowl shot riding on this one.
Not really sure about ODU or Rice, MT gotta hope they're playing their usual doormat role..... and then close out @ WKU who could have a bowl riding on this one as also ... WKU can only be improved w 16 starters returning and even w a total flop season like LY they didn't quit winning their last 2 including huge upset @LT, +15 won by 15... in fairness LT was out of the conf race at that point and already locked up a bowl, but still..
MT won 4 in a row last year against pretty much the same group but Stockstill was on fire like hitting 70++++% completions. MT's D is really gunna have to stay in tact and improve toward year end if they're gunna get there.
Best of luck duck!
