Will BYU Cover The Spread Vs UCONN

Post by Cougarbib »

Road game, season opener, or not -

CBS showed UCONN at +16.5 VS BYU in Connecticut.

Simple Question - Will BYU cover that spread?

Anae just might be the guy. Wisconsin DC says Anae is totally unpredictable because he just runs a bunch of plays with no rhyme or reason. Whooped Butt on Houston DC for 3 of 4 quarters. Destroyed Texas DC and HC careers.

We're lucky to score 17 points in opening games. Vegas probably assumes we'll shut them out...

that's a ton of points for a home game, let alone a season opening road game where we've struggled to score points.


BYU PER W/L Since 1972: 432-76 (.850)

I went back and enabled revoting, which means it would be naughty to change your vote after kick-off. I voted no for now due to uncertainty about any additional suspensions and because we already know 2 starters are suspended and one high potential receiver is injured. Several defensive starters had limited reps. BYU will win. Jet lag, humidity, lack of preparation for contact, injuries, suspensions, limited reps for key players, special teams mistakes, keep this from being a blowout.

No. Im not even that Blue goggled. Again, i wonder if the lack of BYU betters skews the betting world odds. Should be BYU +6. BUt thanks, odds makers! :-( we do much better as an underdog.

well our average prediction has us winning by 12. So a majority will undoubtedly vote "no" on this.

BYU on the road scoring points = bad. BYU in the first game of the season on the road = bad. We'll win this game, but it's not going to be pretty.

Agreed. I want a fantastic offense (a la Brian Kelly's Oregon O) to show up, and I feel like we're on our way there, but not yet. But yeah, I think the score will be something like (BYU) 24-17, which is too close for comfort. I'm spending my week kind of dreaming though....what if our O just clicks and puts up 35+ ? What if Bronco's D just shuts them down to the tune of <10 points? AWESOME... And, I hope that with different personnel for week 2 (JSwagg and Devon back), Anae nails UT-Austin with some schemes not to be seen this Fri.

I don't think we will cover the spread. It will be close. But man, here's hopin.

Nope. I will be surprised if we score over 24.

You think that UConn should be favored?
