Okay I made that up, but we seem to always, always underperform in this game against what Vegas predicts. I bet there's some yewt fans that have made a fortune betting on their team against us the last 20 years.

Impossible. Utah will be all-world once again... at least according to 700

You usually get 3 points for being at home. So, they essentially see this as...

Last time BYU beat Utah in Provo was 2009.

Well of course

It affects the mental state of the players and coaches.

I don't believe that

We got six turnovers and still lost last year.

Yes. We also had an inept quarterback

cougarmanguy

6/27/17 10:59am

but almost all 6 had the same effect as punts. Deep in our own area

Valid point, but we are 3-6 against them at LES since 1997.

It's definitely a toss up game

cougarmanguy

6/27/17 10:55am

I've heard we should win every year since... 2008?

Well, since we should always beat utah this is correct

Since Ty Detmer left in 1991, BYU is 3-8 vs Utah in Provo

BYU Fan

Utah is 8-3 over the last 11 games at LES.

None of that has any bearing on this year

cougarmanguy

6/27/17 10:57am

Or else you'd be arguing that BYU would be even bigger favorites than they are

There go those yewties again, doing the thing they like to accuse BYU fans of

Nice round number, 11. Try 7 of 10? Or 13 of 20?

Pretty sure BYU won vs the spread last year but your point is valid

BYU Fan

6/27/17 11:18am

Ill confirm that. Vegas always underestimates the utes in their biggest game

It means that according to history by is going to lose
