Oregon State at Nevada 9/15/18 - College Football Picks & Predictions

The Oregon State Beavers (1 - 1) are going to be on the road this week in order to play the hometown Nevada Wolf Pack (1 - 1). Nevada will be hosting this game at Mackay Stadium in Reno, NV. Oregon State will be the underdogs in this game though we expect the contest to be far closer than most Nevada fans will want to admit. Nevada comes into this matchup after having just gotten blown out by Vanderbilt while Oregon State just scored a nice win over SUU.

The Oregon State Beavers are taking the field knowing full well that they can stay competitive throughout this game. Oregon State is scoring 40 PPG on offense this season while racking up 520 total yards per game. Oregon State is led offensively by the play of running back Jermar Jefferson (285 yards, 4 TD). Jefferson will handle the bulk of the carries in the backfield in this game and he'll be instrumental for an Oregon State victory. Nevada takes the field with a team that is far from balanced offensively. Nevada doesn't have the ability to run the ball which leaves the Wolf Pack to throw it early and often. Nevada is scoring 41 PPG on offense this year while racking up 443 total yards per game. We want to highlight the play of wideout McClane Mannix (10 catches, 218 yards, 3 TDs) as he'll be the most important offensive weapon on the field for Nevada.
