San Jose State's Strong Performance Challenges Nevada's Standing

The performance of the Spartans thus far has garnered attention and respect, particularly with their recent victory over New Mexico. Prior to this game, they had successfully covered the spread in three consecutive matchups. While Nevada boasts a strong offensive game, their current standing is inflated and may not accurately reflect their recent performances. Evidence of this lies in their limited success in covering the spread, achieving victory only once in their last six games and three times in their last 10. Additionally, concerns regarding Nevada's free throw shooting proficiency further compound the risk of placing sizable wagers on their favor.
