The Line: Betting Odds: BYU +3 — Over/Under: +49.5
The Utah Utes and BYU Cougars meet Saturday in college football action at LaVell Edwards Stadium. Here’s a Utah vs BYU Prediction. This article will include a Utah vs BYU Pick.
The Utah Utes beat West Virginia and Arizona State, and they play Colorado next. Utah has won 6 of its last 7 games. Devon Dampier is completing 71.5 percent of his passes for 1,131 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions. Ryan Davis and Dallen Bentley have combined for 686 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns, while Tobias Merriweather has 7 receptions.
The Utah Utes ground game is averaging 248.2 yards per contest, and Devon Dampier leads the way with 378 yards and 5 touchdowns. Defensively, Utah is allowing 13.8 points and 295.8 yards per game. John Henry Daley leads the Utah Utes with 30 tackles, Logan Fano has 2 sacks and Jackson Bennee has 3 interceptions.
The BYU Cougars beat Arizona and West Virginia, and they play Iowa State next. BYU has won 8 straight games. Bear Bachmeier is completing 63.2 percent of his passes for 1,220 yards, 8 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions. Chase Roberts and Parker Kingston have combined for 753 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns, while Carsen Ryan has 14 receptions.
The BYU Cougars ground game is averaging 238 yards per contest, and LJ Martin leads the way with 652 yards and 4 touchdowns. Defensively, BYU is allowing 14.7 points and 263.5 yards per game. Faletau Satuala leads the BYU Cougars with 31 tackles, Jack Kelly has 4 sacks and Evan Johnson has 2 interceptions.
Utah is probably the more talented team, and this is a well coached team that knows how to win on the road. However, BYU is undefeated, balanced, and tough in the trenches. At home in a rivalry spot, I like BYU to win this game outright. BYU is a tough team on both sides of the ball and can bully most teams in the country, and I’m not sure Utah is exempt. Also, the underdog has covered 7 of the last 10 games between Utah and BYU. While I respect Utah and its coaching staff, this line doesn’t make sense to me. Give me BYU and the free field goal in a game I expect an outright win.
