Keep in mind that oddsmakers set the lines based on where they think the stupid public will place bets evenly on

Ignoring the BYU angle, I wonder if the FanDuel line differs from other Vegas lines due to FanDuel bettors being so

Was curious how good a predictor SP+ preseason rankings are...so here's data from 2023
