So S&P+ has BYU as an underdog in 4 games: vs. LSU, Wisky, Boise St, and Miss St
I'm a little surprised we're home underdogs vs. Boise St, even slight ones, but the other ones make sense to me. Specifically, they favor LSU by 18.5 pts, Wisconsin by 11 pts, Boise St by 1.5 pts, and Mississippi State by 6 pts.

Meanwhile, they favor BYU over the dirty utes by 2 pts, which feels about right to me. We're double-digit favorites in all the other games, except against the Dairy utes; they only favor us by 4 pts in that one. If I were a betting man, I might try to make some money on this game. My sense is we should be bigger favorites vs USU, and maybe less so at East Carolina, where they list us as 12 pt favorites. Not sure if their model factors in that ECU is on the back end of back-to-back cross-continent road trips on consecutive weekends, and they'll get us the week after a physical contest at an SEC school.
