Utah +3.5 3.3% play

All of the pressure is on BYU here on the road in their biggest rivalry game.  They cracked the top 10, but is this BYU team really a top 10 team.  The line in this game was -21 in favor of Utah over the summer, and of course UTAH has not had the season they were supposed to, bc of the QB situation, but this defense is still really nasty ranking 7th in success rate 2nd in third downs, 8th in rushing success rate, and 9th in passing success rate.  Both teams play at a very slow tempo. I believe Utah is going to want to run the ball and avoid turnover, and I think there is reason and room to believe they can run the ball well here as BYU 92nd in rushing success rate.  Utah is 9-1 ATS as a dog in the series, and 20-2-1 ATS as a dog when coming off a straight up ATS loss.
