intelligently on it. I can tell from most of CBs posts that folks here look at Utah through a different but very intriguing prism. More often than not posting what they want to believe.

Which is why I enjoy CB though. Anyone can read from their own fans a tainted view of the world. It's good to hear from other sides and at least try and gather some objective information.

Perhaps that's why you asked the question. In the past, most CBers seemed happy to only read each others' posts or only share articles or excerpts from articles that conveyed Utah negatively.

I understand the motive for that.

But the results have been consistent. A huge surprise on game day when BYU didn't march through Utah's riff raff roster.

My take is this. Right now, you have to favor BYU at home with more known commodities. The 3 biggest things to watch is how well Utah progresses on the new offense, Chase's health and how quickly Utah DBs get up to speed. The Utah OL is supposed to be a question mark but I'll tell you right now...it's going to be solid.

If you start hearing good things about Troy Williams and the throwing offense, expect Vegas to start pulling points away from BYU. I believe by game time this will be a pick 'em or BYU -1.
