• BYU Cougars to cover (4 Units)

The Cougars have won nine of their 11 home games, while the Buffaloes have lost six of their seven road games. BYU has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring 90 points per game at home, while making over 49 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 74 percent of their free throws, while the Buffaloes made less than 70 percent of theirs in their last three games. Their ball movement is very good, and they rebound the ball well, grabbing more than 10 offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also do a good job of protecting the ball and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Buffaloes have struggled defensively, and they’re giving up more than 80 points per game on the road, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Cougars. Take BYU to cover the spread.
