BYU at Utah picks and predictions
Prediction
BYU 84, Utah 78
Moneyline
BYU has won the last 3 and 5 of the last 6 meetings with Utah. The Cougars are averaging 91.9 points per game and only allowing 59.0.
This is BYU's first game not at home or on a neutral court.
The Utes are 3-0 at home to start the season.
But if Utah struggled against South Utah, they will not be able to keep up with the Cougar offense.
The moneyline isn't a terrible bet, but it does approach not being worth the action. It is worth including a BYU moneyline wager as the leg of a parlay, but look to the spread for a better value.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Cougars have not won a game this season by fewer than 9 points.
Their season-low scoring is 74.
Utah has scored at least 66 in every game and 77 or more in 7 of their 8 games.
But BYU will be too tough to slow. The Cougars have won the last 3 meetings by at least 9 points.
