Will the trend continue through 2010? The Wolf Pack and Rebels hook up on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wolf Pack vs. Rebels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nevada has cruised to a perfect starting, winning all four games and going 3-0 against the spread. The effort has been so strong, the Wolf Pack entered the rankings\u2014coming in at No. 25\u2014for the first time since 1948. Nevada is taking care of business with an explosive offense and dominant run game; the team is averaging 44.8 points per outing while rushing for an incredible 286 yards per game.<\/p>\n<p>Running back Vai Taua and quarterback Colin Kaepernick are doing the damage, as they rank 13<sup>th<\/sup> and 14<sup>th<\/sup>, respectively, in NCAA rushing yards per game. Though there\u2019s plenty of emphasis on the run, Kaepernick is a respectable passer too. He rarely commits turnovers and the Wolf Pack is averaging 242 pass yards per game. <iframe allowtransparency='true' src='http:\/\/ff.connextra.com\/Bodog\/selector\/client?client=Bodog&#038;placement=Ext_RS_Sports_250x250&#038;cxt_aff_id=151627&#038;tclk=http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/' class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" width='250' height='250' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' style='border-width:0'><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the football, Nevada has improved considerably. The team was gouged for over 30 points per game last season but, at the moment, the number stands at 18.5. The \u201cD\u201d is doing a pretty effective job against both run and pass, though it could certainly afford to make more big plays. Nevada failed to record a takeaway or sack in last week\u2019s 27-13 win over BYU.<\/p>\n<p>UNLV, on the other hand, has just one win to its credit. The Rebels (1-3, 2-2 ATS) snapped a three-game losing streak by beating New Mexico 45-10 last week but, to be fair, the opening schedule was a doozy (including Wisconsin and at Utah).<\/p>\n<p>It was the first time in 2010 the offense did anything. In fact, the Rebels\u2019 45 points against New Mexico exceeded their output from the first three games. Quarterback Omar Clayton looked sharp with three touchdown passes, while running back Michael Johnson did his job by cranking out 185 yards on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Defensively, Will Chandler has been a one-man wrecking crew for the Rebels. The cornerback already has three picks and a pair of fumble recoveries. Too bad he\u2019s not a stalwart run-stopper; UNLV is allowing 161 yards per game on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Nevada crushed UNLV 63-28 last year thanks to 559 yards on the ground (Kaepernick was responsible for 173 of them). With UNLV struggling to stop the run, and Nevada still cranking out yards like there\u2019s no tomorrow, it\u2019s hard to believe the same thing won\u2019t happen again. Nevada is legit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gambling Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nevada is 4-1 SU in its last 5 games on the road<br \/>\nThe total has gone UNDER in 6 of Nevada&#8217;s last 9 games when playing UNLV<br \/>\nThe total has gone UNDER in 6 of UNLV&#8217;s last 9 games when playing Nevada<br \/>\nUNLV is 4-9 SU in its last 13 games<br \/>\nNevada is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games when playing UNLV<br \/>\nNevada is 12-2 SU in its last 14 games<br \/>\nUNLV is 0-5 ATS in its last 5 games when playing Nevada<br \/>\nUNLV is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games when playing Nevada<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nevada at UNLV pick<\/strong>: Nevada -20.5<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bodog.eu\/welcome\/151627\/betting-offers\/baseball-betting-bonus.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">START NCAA FOOTBALL GAMBLING TODAY AT BODOG SPORTSBOOK &amp; CASINO\u2026.CLICK HERE TO JOIN!!!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nevada Wolf Pack and the UNLV Rebels will both be gunning for a victory on Saturday at Sam Boyd Stadium.
