I agree Nevada +a TD is very good value here, my only concern is that LA TECH running game, their two backs looked very good last week.

If this line gets to 10 I'm taking La Tech.. only concern is if they get too far behind.. don't look like a come from behind team, clock and ball control team... I'm hoping for a close, long drive game from La Tech. Eat up clock. Then I give the edge to La Tech. Secondary needs to step up.  Sharp

WAC play is hard to predict, but I think Nevada can take this one.  LaTech struggles against the run.  It just so happens that Hawaii didn't have a run game.  The big spread movement seems a little strange, though.   Usually that means go with the strange.   Nevada -9.5

Louisiana Tech should be favored here.
I follow the WAC closely and I watch every game in this conference.
Nevada as a 11 point favorite?
The line opened in Vegas as NEVADA -7, now it is at 11.
When I made my own line on this game I have LT favored by 1 point.
I gotta go with the value play here and I will be putting one unit on Louisianna Tech +11

I'll just take the over in this WAC game.......112th D and 84th D in the country with a #12 offense on the field and both teams able to rip big runs at anytime and a very, very dangerous QB for Nevada.  I'll take the big and root for everybody on the field Friday night!

I had Nevada as a 2 pt fav in this game so dont understand the huge 4 pt swing to -11, lots of value in taking LA Tech here IMO

La Tech is a very methodical ball control on offense, If Nevada can stop their running game and force 3 and out, Nevada can and will run all over La tech. Tech weakness is stopping the run. Seeing La tech ahd success against Hawaii last week becuz the Warriors is not a good running team. Nevada Reno  usually is a tough place to play for opponent. My money is on Nevada

I don't mean this as a diss, but to all of you who think that you're too smart for vegas--When the line shifts this much, its the TRUE SHARPS telling vegas that they were wrong.  I made too many mistakes in the past trying to overthink these huge line swings.  Basically the play is Nevada hopefully giving up only single digits.
 
I see why, Latech is pathetic vs the run, beat up on an unmotivated Hawaii squad playing their 3rd road game in a row, many of whose players had ties to the samoa earthquake/tsunami. Oh the other win-Nicholls state
 
Nevada homefield is one of the toughest homefields in the country, look at the last game vs Missouri, missouri was lucky to win straight up, and only managed to cover the spread late.
 
I don't know what the local line will be, but I'm not certain id play this if the line got too high, but it should be interesting to see how it plays out.

Your Right Mush, this line opened at Nevada -7, now up to 10.5. Just like the Troy line Tues night, I was on the wrong side of that one, I wont make that mistake here.
 
Nevada -10.5

far b it from me to go against the sharps.......even if the Sagarin ratings have these teams:
 
 75  Louisiana Tech       A  =  68.53      68.24   78 |   68.23   74

  92  Nevada                 A  =  65.74       65.83   91 |   65.08   91

The "sharps" are wrong 45% of the time. This is one of them. LT covers. Nevada should be a 3- point fav.

I'm from Hawaii and live and die with the WAC, LaTech is getting better every year, It'll be a run off between the two and 10.5 is too much for a division game.   LaTech covers if not wins SU.... my two cents.

The sharps have definitely hit Nevada. But they also took all the value out of the line. Key stat is yards per play: Nevada 6.6. Tech 4.2. Doesn't get much bigger than that.

If I play this I'm taking Nevada. But the line has been over-inflated by sharps. Could be a no-play.
