North Alabama at BYU: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
BYU 45, North Alabama 10
Money line (ML)
The money line was off the board at the time of publishing due to the massive spread. There’ll be no sense betting the ML, as there is no money to be made. BYU appears to be one of the nation’s premier teams playing a North Alabama team that hasn’t won a game this season.
Against the spread (ATS)
BYU is 6-1-1 ATS this season but North Alabama has covered the line in all three of its games this season despite being winless. With this line being 47.5 points, BYU would have to put up nearly 50 points and shut out the Lions or put up more than 60 if North Alabama has two scores.
BYU will roll but it won’t be able to cover this crazy of a spread. Take NORTH ALABAMA +47.5 (-106).
Over/Under (O/U)
BYU is 4-4 O/U this season. North Alabama’s games have all gone Under. It will be a blowout but not enough to get to 59 total points between the two teams. Take UNDER 58.5 (-110).
