that you all keep pointing to history. When was the last time we were favored playing Utah?

Why are we favored? Well we are the better team. And if you ask me Vegas has continued overrating the Utes and underrating the Cougs. I think the line should be over a TD.

Both teams have had 2 weeks to prepare, so that favors the team with better coaching. I honestly think that is now BYU. A-Rod is far better than their OC and with Jay Hill I really like our defense.

Motivation: Both teams will be motivated for sure, but both teams have been motivated in the majority of their games this year. We are 8-0 in those games. They are 4-4.

QBs: Our QB is MUCH, MUCH better than their QB.

Could we lose? Of course. If you play this game 100 times at the very least Utah would win 10 of those games and probably more. But BYU would win the vast majority.

Key to the game: Many have said it and it is simple; Win the line of scrimmage. If you do that you will win the game.

A fast start will bury the Utes as they can't pass. On top of that they are a fractured team that is getting used to losing. So jump out to a lead and watch them fold.

X-Factor: Weather. It looks like it will be a decently warm evening (43 degrees at kick). But with the team that is the better passing team playing in the best possible conditions is optimal for us. Let's hope it turns out to be a great night.

My prediction: BYU 31-13 I think that score reflects a game closer than it actually is as we take our foot off the gas early.
