SMU vs Nevada College Bowl Wagering Lines
Nevada may be a double-digit favorite in the college football wagering Hawaii Bowl on Thursday night at 8pm ET but SMU is likely to have the home crowd edge.

"I am so happy that our players will be able to have this experience," said Jones, "Reaching our first bowl game in 25 years is special – not only for our current student-athletes, but also for the guys who came before them."
