It's called math: UTST hung well with OU, OU rolled FSU, FSU rolled BYU. Ergo, UTST will roll BYU.
Seriously, BYU has been to five straight bowl games and has won 11, 11, 10, and 11
games the last four years. Utah St. on the other hand has been on of
the worst teams in all D1 the three years prior to last; thanks to the
play of QB Borel (and new head coach?), they were relatively respectable last year (but still 4-8).
Each team looked good in their first game and then have fallen off (throwing out the Idaho St. game).
Final thesis, I have a hard team not seeing mean reversion in the play of BYU; for BYU to lose to a 1-3 Utah St. team means the wheels have totally come off; I just don't see that big a drop off in talent from last year for BYU.
Only caveat is line movement has me nervous. And that the public is probably thinking the same way I am.

2 point line movement is very significant if its moving away from the favored/public...Both teams are garbage and if it wasnt the only game on tonight I wouldnt even touch it...but because it is im taking the points

Not too comfortable taking 2 different Aggie teams b2b nights which probably is some kinda bad sign and if I wasn't such a MF degenerate with just a small amount of self control I would just wait a few more hours for the buffet Saturday. "Words never listen, teachers never learn" -- Polygamy State +4

Before I started reading these posts, I was thinking this line is too low and I was going to take BYU -4. But after reading these posts about BYU's quarterback, homedog, fading the public, and the line movement, I am just confused now. It does seem that Vegas want's me to bet on BYU, but when I say it outload, " I'll take Utah State +4 v.s. BYU", it just sounds wrong. So it must be the right bet.

Ok, BYU has name recognition – public always loves them. Utah State is a traditionally terrible team and is 1-3 with the only win against a 1AA team. Joe Q was jumping all over the Cougars at 6.So the line drops?All the way to 4?Vegas is begging you to take BYU.Either Vegas has a big heart or something stinky is going on.I know which side I’m on…

If I had any confidence at all that this would be anything other than a 6-3 game or 9-6 game, I would go with BYU. A pathetic Friday night game but the degenerates need it, so...

joshcencil - I post my picks on "my page" and in the last thread of the day that has a line... this week it's the Hawaii/La Tech thread... you'll find my picks in either place... Glad I can help. Sharp

the side is a little too close to call, lots of variables..i'll be playing the over 51. Utah wants to win at home and only can do that by putting up points..these teams aren't known for their D if you know what I mean, look at their yardage diffs

I'm from the state of Utah.. Ute fan.. USU new head coach was the Defensive cord. when Utah beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. USU is becoming a better program. If the Aggies ever thought they had a chance to beat Byu.. This would be the year...
That said... USU gets all the scrap recruits from the region. They compete with (Boise St., Utah, Byu) Logan Ut. is 20 degrees or below all winter... So Cal kids, Texas kids, They don't go to USU unless its the last or only offer... So usually you would have to give the talent level, speed, size to BYU. However this year thats a wash because you're dealing with more Senior leadership at USU. Byu players WILL be better.. But aren't yet..
I know a lot of ramble here.. But living and seeing this game played for over a decade. I think this year is a total crap shoot.. I would probably lean towards betting on Byu (This would be a huge upset in Utah) The LARGE bet is on the OVER.. Byu has averaged 39 points per game the last 10 against USU. In the 3 games that USU had a real chance they avrg. 34. USU will be the worst D Byu has faced. Byu struggles with a mobile QB. I see a close shootout.
