BYU-Utah Matchup Draws Respect and a Surprising Betting Line

BYU and Utah are two highly respected football programs with strong recruiting and winning traditions. Their upcoming matchup should be a big one.

The betting line is surprising because sportsbooks are not usually very respectful of BYU. Against Notre Dame, BYU received 10.5 points at home, which suggests the Cougars would have been underdogs by multiple touchdowns at Notre Dame.

Utah is unbeaten, and its ceiling has looked especially impressive on offense. The expectation was that Utah would be favored by a touchdown, though that is not meant to dismiss BYU. Good, bad or indifferent, the Cougars consistently provide a tough test.
