"At this point, it is pretty safe to say that Vegas has been wrong. They have continuously been off on Brigham Young games. And I think there is pride in being an outlier - and this is kind of serious. I think there is pride in the best people in the world using every bit of knowledge and data acquisition and calibration that they have acquired over decades in setting numbers so professionals can bet on them - and you're the outlier? Whatever you've got, is unquantifiable. Because they can quantify everything else and based on everything they have learned throughout history, they keep putting numbers on your game and you keep covering them and winning out right in the process," he said. "Vegas oddsmakers are the best in the world at what they do. And they know everything there is to know about quantifying how good a team is and you're the outlier to that? That's the biggest indication that you have something special cooking internally, and now, BYU has that."
