Both teams are coming off opposite outcomes in their previous games, as BYU won Villanova at home by 5 points and are playing once again at home. On the flip side, Holy Cross is coming off a 10-point road loss and are playing their second straight game on the road to start the season. BYU is the superior team in this matchup and had twice as many wins as Holy Cross last season, having the 24th-best offense in the nation. I expect the hosts to dominate this game, so take BYU and lay the points at home.
