From the booth
The model favored BYU to win, and the call landed.
BYU is going to take this one home, and they're heavy favorites at 91% to win. The Cougars are getting the benefit of a 17.5 point spread, they're ranked 11th in the nation while Colorado State's unranked, and their offense has been clicking better over the last month. This looks like a mismatch on paper, and unless the Rams come out and play the game of their lives, BYU's got all the momentum heading into this one.
Why the model leans BYU
- Favors BYU: BYU+0.14Vegas point spread
- Favors BYU: BYU+0.06Betting-market win probability
- Favors BYU: BYU+0.01AP poll standing edge
