RJ's take: Jeff Coates doesn't just come from the best Texas Longhorns team we've seen since 2009 to coach the Wolfpack, but does it as a man who, like Kalen DeBoer, coached a team to the playoffs in the lower divisions (FCS, Montana State, 2019) and at the FBS level. He won Chubba Purdy out of the portal to compete for the starting job and try to build Nevada into the kind of program that can win more than it loses.

Nevada's Win Total Odds: Over 2.5 (-120) Under 2.5 (-110)
