On Sunday, the No. 7 Nevada Wolf Pack pulled off an insane comeback over No. 2 Cincinnati, going up by two points with nine seconds remaining after earlier falling behind the Bearcats by 22 points with just 11 minutes left on the clock.
On a last-gasp effort, Cincinnati failed to convert, handing the Wolf Pack an improbable victory nobody saw coming.
WHAT A COMEBACK!!

According to Gambletron — which uses market betting numbers — Nevada’s comeback against Cincy was more unlikely than Patriots over Falcons, and it’s not even close https://t.co/GdNrqB4XUL pic.twitter.com/2uJn1RL0Fc

Nevada was down 22 and came back to win. But bad news for them….They now have to play against @RamblersMBB and Sister Jean!
