BYU @ Utah St. o60.0 (-110) - Friday, October 3rd ‘08 8:00p
This week the eighth ranked BYU Cougars will travel to Logan, Utah for a Friday evening tilt with WAC member Utah State. The Cougars of BYU are a heavy road favorite at -28, but we are going to go with the over 60 in this match-up. The Cougars are having another outstanding season under Bronco Mendenhall and their offense is explosive to say the least. Quarterback Max Hall is a legitimate Heisman candidate with a 180.8 passer rating and he has thrown 15 touchdowns to just two interceptions. The Cougars are averaging 43 points per game and have scored under 40 just once (28 at Washington) in a game where they turned the ball over twice. Against competition similar to Utah State, BYU has scored 59, 44, and 41. They will get over 40 in this game without question. The Aggies of Utah State have faced a pretty tough schedule to this point in the season, and they have not faired well. They have squared off against two teams in BYU’s class in Oregon and Utah. They allowed 124 points in those two games and they scored 34. I look for them to chalk up anywhere from 14 to 20 in this contest and for BYU to easily take care of the rest and push the total over 60. Things to consider: The Over is 7-3 in BYU’s last 10 as a road favorite with a total of 54.5 or more. The Over is 3-1 the last five years when BYU played as road favorite in the month of September. The Over is 3-1 the last five years when BYU played as a road favorite coming off a win as a home favorite. The Over is 5-0 the last five years win Utah State played as a home underdog during the month of September. - Courtesy of Matt Foust
