Buy Razor Ray’s Picks Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Something has to give in this matchup, and while it won\u2019t be the most-talked about battle of the weekend, it has potential to provide nail-biting entertainment for fans of both sides.<\/p>\n The numbers haven\u2019t been pretty for Hawaii through its first two games. It is 120th in the nation in points (13.5 per game), 91st in points allowed (31.5), 92nd in passing yards (189 per game) and 123rd in rushing (46). All that said, the Warriors are 2-0 ATS this season, and they\u2019ll look to keep that trend going, as they\u2019re favored by 10.5 points entering the weekend.<\/p>\n If Hawaii has anything going for it at this point, it\u2019s the fact that it is coming off of a bye week. It ultimately fell to an unimpressive USC team in Week 1, and it struggled to contain the pass against Oregon State in Week 2. Now it has had a chance to rest heading into a battle with the Wolf Pack.<\/p>\n Luckily for the Warriors, Nevada has had more success on the ground this season than through the air. The Wolf Pack will look to attack with their running core, but Hawaii has had success up to this point in that defensive category.<\/p>\n The Wolf Pack have had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with a brutal schedule early in their season. Following a 58-20 loss to the then-No. 21 UCLA Bruins, the team took advantage of UC Davis with a 36-7 win. The problem is that they had no time to celebrate, as a matchup with No. 10 Florida State saw them fall 62-7 in Week 3. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n Now, the Wolf Pack has a chance to show what they can do against a team that is more their size. Entering this matchup, Nevada is 1-2 ATS in action against the Warriors at Mackay Stadium, but it has an aspect of its offense that could do some damage: the ground attack. Despite being just the 100th-best passing team in the country, Nevada\u2019s rushing game has given them 188.7 yards per showing. It\u2019s hardly something to note against the bigger programs around the country, but at 58th in the nation in that category, it gives them an element to their approach that Hawaii simply doesn\u2019t have.<\/p>\n From a number\u2019s standpoint, this game puts Nevada\u2019s No. 95 offense against the No. 91-ranked defense. Unfortunately for the Wolf Pack, the Warriors\u2019 run defense skyrockets to the No. 8 spot in the standings. This is largely because of the fact that USC (Week 1) was missing Silas Redd and Oregon State (Week 2) is the No. 1 passing team in the country. Hawaii\u2019s rushing defense has been a force thus far, but we\u2019ve yet to see it against a team that is willing to put the ball down their throats.<\/p>\n Hawaii is expected to come away with the win, but Nevada should keep it closer than expected. The Wolf Pack are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 after being outgained while the Warriors are just 1-9 in their last 10 in-conference contests. Hawaii is also just 3-7 ATS when on turf, while Nevada is 5-5.<\/p>\n Score Prediction: Hawaii 25 \u2013 Nevada 17<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hawaii Warriors vs. Nevada Wolf Pack Prediction and Week 4 Preview The Hawaii Warriors are set to travel to Mackay Stadium on Saturday, Sept. 21 to take on the Nevada Wolf Pack.
