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

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.

Not a stupid take a lot of fans, bet for their team even if not a majority it

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

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.

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

Lifer

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

Who cares. Just win and it doesn’t matter at all.

If you look at FEI, UCF (#38) is a better team than Duke (#63). FEI predicts
