UTSA at BYU: Odds, betting lines and picks
Prediction
BYU 48, UTSA 17
Money line (ML)
BYU has been dominant this season. UTSA is not great competition and the money line is ridiculous. At -10000, it isn’t worth a bet, as you win only 10 cents for every $10 wagered. AVOID.
Against the spread (ATS)
BYU has won and covered all three of its games this season, but a spread of 34.5 points is just too much. The Cougars will build up enough of a lead that they slow down enough and the defense will allow some cheap points. UTSA, 2-2 ATS, will get just enough. It keeps it under five scores. Take UTSA +34.5 (-110).
Over/Under (O/U)
BYU is only 1-2 O/U this season and UTSA is 2-2 O/U. BYU should put up points in bunches and UTSA will only need to get two touchdowns to get the Over. Take the OVER 62.5 (-110).
