Baylor Pulled It Out Late

Baylor has been a little inconsistent as of late and they really had to fight for their victory in the last game. At halftime against Kansas State, they were trailing and the offense had scored only 26 points. In the second half, they scored 44 points and that was enough for the victory. V.J. Edgecombe had quite the game putting up 30 points, three assists, and one rebound. Two games ago against TCU, Baylor ended up losing 74-71. 

Baylor comes into this game with a 12-6 record overall but they have gone only 6-11 against the spread. The over has hit in 10 of the 17 games so far this season. Baylor is averaging 80.2 points, while their defense is giving up 68.2 points per game. The offense is ranked 60th in the league while the defense is ranked 85th. Norchad Omier is averaging 15.1 points while shooting 57.5 percent from the field. 

What a Bad Loss For Utah 

Utah faced off against Houston in the last game and they didn’t play well enough. Utah scored only 36 points and that wasn’t nearly good enough to even put up a fight as the defense gave up 70 points. The biggest issue for Utah is they didn’t have a star step up and no one even scored in double figures. Two games ago against BYU, Utah was able to come away with a 73-72 victory. In this game, the offense is going to need to step up in a big way here. 

Utah comes into this game with an 11-7 record and they have gone 9-9 against the spread. The over has hit in 8 of the 18 games so far this season. Utah is averaging 77.7 points while their defense is giving up 70 points per game. The offense is ranked 100th in the league while the defense is ranked 133th. Gabe Madsen has been the top player for this team and he’s averaging 15.3 points while shooting 39 percent from the field. Ezra Ausar put up 10.6 points while shooting 51.3 percent from the field. 

Baylor vs Utah Prediction

This honestly isn’t my favorite game on the board to bet as I really don’t trust either of these teams. That being said, the way the Utah offense was in the last game was a major issue and that is going to really let them down here. Utah is averaging 77.7 points per game but in the last game, they only scored 36 points. Their offense is going to really struggle here, and it’s going to be Baylor that is going to get the job done here. Back Baylor to win his game and cover the spread here.
