Western Kentucky at BYU: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks
Prediction
BYU 48, Western Kentucky 13
Money line (ML)
The Cougars have yet to be challenged this season. They won’t be Saturday. But the -3334 line is ridiculous. AVOID.
Against the spread (ATS)
Even with a 28.5-point spread, the trends suggest to take the Cougars. They are 5-1 ATS this season, regularly playing with huge spreads. Meanwhile, Western Kentucky has not covered the spread at all this season. Take BYU -28.5 (-106).
Over/Under (O/U)
This is the tough one. BYU will put up points, but will it threaten 50 points? It seems unlikely the Hilltoppers will score more than two touchdowns. Western Kentucky will score just enough to go Over. Take OVER 51.5 (-110).
