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

It's a lot more complicated than just looking at betting totals.

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
Oct 23, 10:43pm
Somehow the line between good and bad is very thin. OSU and UCF are very close

Still, favoring a team with 4 straight losses over unbeaten, Top-15 team — it frankly seems weird. No way around it.

Other than CU, they likely looked that against all their losses as well. Cincy may indeed prove better than BYU
SinkingQuffa

A lot of factors both ways on that. At the end of the day the spread is very bizarre. UCF has not proven it can win.

FPI implies a 13 point spread at a neutral site

There's a perception that BYUs offense can't score consistently

And now some doubt about the defense after last week’s clunker.

Because the guys in Vegas saw how our defense played last week and that we should’ve lost that game

And they ignored how our offense stepped up and looked great

That was one drive. Vegas isn’t emotional. Our O hasn’t been great.

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