BYU vs. Utah Free Pick
BYU and Utah have met in the final game of the regular season every year since 2002, but that ends after Saturday’s game at Rice-Eccles Stadium as both teams will be heading to new conferences next year.
Both of these teams have been members of the Mountain West Conference since its inception in 1999, but Utah will move to the Pac-12 next year and BYU will become an independent.
According to latest college football odds and oddsmakers at online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com, Utah has been made an 8.5-point favorite over BYU on Saturday. The over/under total for this game is currently 50 points.
The Cougars enter Saturday’s game with a 6-5 overall record and a matching 6-5 mark against the spread. They’re 1-4 on the road this year and have covered in just two of their five games away from home according to latest college football trends.
The Utes improved to 9-2 on the year with a win over San Diego State last weekend. They’re a stellar 7-3-1 against the spread this season, which includes a 3-1-1 record in Salt Lake City.
College Football Week 13 Free Pick:
The home team is 5-2 against the spread in the last seven meetings and BYU is just 1-5 ATS in its last six games against Utah. But the underdog is 10-3 against the number in the last 13 overall meetings and 11 of the past 13 games between these two teams have been decided by seven points or fewer. Jordan Wynn and the Utes’ offense had been held to just one touchdown in their previous nine quarters before amassing 500 yards of offense last week against SDS. But while Wynn and Co. could pull off a similar feat this week, chances are this will be another close game. If BYU can get JJ Di Luigi, Bryan Kariya and Joshua Quezada rolling on the ground, the Cougars may be able to control the tempo of this game and stay within a touchdown. Our pick is BYU plus the points.
