Football is back!
Week 0 is here and a good number of games are Mountain West tilts with five games this Saturday.
For those that are new here. This piece will morph over the weekend. It serves as our staff pick posts with straight up and against the spread (when available), then we post highlights, scores, and link to our recaps of these games. So, check back often.
Let us know on Twitter @MWCWire about your picks for this opening week of college football.
All lines are as of 8/21/22
Idaho State at UNLV: Rebels win 52-21
Yes, it’s the Bengals but the Rebels haven’t had a win like this in years and it is a great motivational boost for their next game against Cal on Sept. 10.
Of course, they bust out the turnover slot machine.

UConn at Utah State: Aggies win 31-20
Yikes, this team got off to a slow start — a little similar to last year — but good teams get the W and that is what Utah State did. About half of our staff were bold and took UConn to cover and it paid off.
Here is the condensed game, ICYMI.
Quicker highlights.

Wyoming at Illinois (-10): Illini win 38-6
Yikes… Wyoming’s offense is once again stuck in reverse. Maybe the Illinois defense is that good but this offensive result doesn’t bode well for the Cowboys offense or quarterback situation.
If you want to suffer or want to squint for some hope here is the condensded game.
It was a mixed bag for picking ATS, but the majority got he outright win.

Nevada at New Mexico State (+9): Wolf Pack win 23-12
Nevada barely cover this game and our staff did a great job of picking the winner with only two taking the loss on the spread.
Here are the really condendesed highlights:

Vanderbilt at Hawaii (+6.5): Commodores win 63-10
This did not go as planned at all for Hawaii and maybe, just maybe, that weirdo who gave Vanderbilt a first-place vote to win the SEC might be onto something.
