They want to put BYU as a touchdown favorite but they aren’t quite sure yet, so they make it an odd line in the middle of a field goal/td.

It will be interesting to see how that line moves

It absolutely can be that close. The holy war typically ends with a one score

Hope for a total collapse of the U, but don't count on it.

A lot is going to depend on how invested the coaches players are on their end

The team may be broken, but Whitt is not. Never underestimate the weird

Only the version that includes non-game related data. All the Sagarin ratings

Encouraging. I'll have to look at that.

The farther to the right the less the rankings consider non season game data.

Isn’t Vegas taking bets all the time & 5.5 pts is what guarantees their margin?

It’ll swing depending on where the money is layed, but the initial line shows

‘Vegas’ hasn’t been taking bets on BYU-Utah until this morning?
