mainly that due to BYU affiliation with the LDS church not a lot of money is bet on BYU

Yep, BYU gets very little in the way of fan betting. Also, none of the sportsbook apps are legal in the state

are you thinking the only people that would bet on BYU are BYU fans and members?

It’s doesn’t have to affect 100% of the bets to affect the line…

This should be easily verifiable. Does BYU beat the spread more than the average

Agreed. And I’m not sure the answer. Just responding to the idea that the line

The answer is that BYU beats the spread about 50% of the time like everyone else

Stupid take. Most betting action on a given game isn't from fans of either team.

SMU scores a lot of points. Duke doesn’t.

BYU almost lost to a bad team. UCF almost beat a good team.

And, ISU almost lost to a bad team. OSU almost beat a good team.

RebelScum

Somehow the line between good and bad is very thin. OSU and UCF are very close

I amazed why anyone cares. Do we seek out reasons to be offended?

Guys, who cares? If you really believe we’re undervalued, go place a bet

With BYU in the Big 12 this means very little…in fact…its awesome that this team finds a way each week.

Maybe because we squeaked out a win vs OKst where we were 9 point favorites. And
