Georgia Southern Looks to Rebound Defensively In Reno

The Georgia Southern Eagles played in one of the most entertaining games of the opening week in college football. They lost to the Boise State Broncos by a score of 56-45, in a game where both teams scored at will throughout. This week, Georgia Southern will look to continue to rack up impressive offensive numbers but with a better showing on the defensive side of the ball.

Stopping the run is going to be a key factor in this contest for Georgia Southern after what we saw from them last week. They allowed 267 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns to Boise State's Ashton Jeanty in Week 1. And while Nevada is unlikely to be quite as lethal on the ground in this contest, another bad showing from the Georgia Southern run defense could mean another gaudy number on the scoreboard from their opposition.

Can Nevada Build On Encouraging Start?

The Nevada Wolf Pack have split their first two games of the 2024 college football season, losing to SMU in Week 0 and beating Troy in Week 1. But after how bad their 2023 season went, starting this year with a 1-1 record is encouraging stuff from Nevada. This week, the Wolf Pack will look to get above the .500 mark for the first time since Week 3 of the 2022 season, when they were 2-1 after a loss to FCS Incarnate Word.

So far this year, the offense of Nevada has been respectable, averaging 26 points per game through the first two games of the year. Last year, they averaged just over 17 points per game, which means they are trending in the right direction. A win here would be a great sign for the Wolf Pack, as they look to claw their way back to some form of relevance in the Mountain West moving forward.

Georgia Southern vs Nevada Best Bet

Our best bet for this Georgia Southern vs Nevada matchup is for the game to go over the total in the high-50s. While Nevada's defense has done a decent job so far this year, Georgia Southern's defense certainly has not. Look for another high-scoring game featuring the Eagles, as they should move to 2-0 to the over through the first two weeks of the season.
