Utah State vs BYU Prediction & Pick

BYU won the most recent meeting in this rivalry with a 34-20 victory at Utah State last year. The Cougars were the better team then and are still the better team now.

Through four games and a stronger schedule, BYU is scoring 33.5 points per game and averaging 468 yards per game on offense. Utah State has only played three FBS opponents, and one was Alabama in a 55-0 loss. The Aggies' run defense has been exploited this year and is vulnerable to attack

Utah State also beat themselves last week with 6 turnovers, including 5 interceptions. They need to take better care of the football if they want to stay competitive in this one.

Final Score Prediction: BYU: 37 | Utah State: 20

Utah State vs BYU Tech Best Bet

All NCAAF betting lines, odds and prop bets are available on FanDuel Sportsbook.

The Aggies should play better than last week in this rivalry game, but senior QB Logan Bonner needs to have a big game. After passing for 3,628 yards and 36 TDs last year, Bonner has passed for only 753 yards with a 6:8 TD/INT ratio and just 6.8 yards per attempt.

BYU, on the other hand, has star QB Jaren Hall, and he's already passed for 1,164 yards this season with 9 touchdowns and only 1 interception.

This line would have been just below 20 points at the start of the season. While the adjustment seems warranted, we're still leaning towards the underdog.
