Probable Win. Coin Flip. Coin Flip. Probable Loss. Need a Miracle.
Vs BSU we are more likely to win than loose, though obviously it will be a tough game.

Miss St and Utah will be close, low scoring games. Right now it's basically a coin flip as to who wins.

Wisconsin is a very good team who is all about physical play and dominating on defense and in the trenches. I doubt BYU gets to 20 points against them. Of course BYU's defense is just as good and the Badgers offense is rather pedestrian, so I don't think they get to 20 either. The difference will be depth. Wisconsin will eventually wear down BYU's defense with their powerful O line and run oriented offense. BYU will be unable to return the favor because of Wisconsin's depth and BYU's unimpressive run game. Probable score, something in the 17-13 range.

LSU Similar to the Wisconsin Game except that the Tigers have Derrius Guice who averaged 162 yards and 2 TDs per start. When the Cougar D starts to wear down, the lapses won't just result in first downs, but in long gains and TDs. I expect the score to be in the 27-13 range.

BYU can win, but it will need the defense to get offensive. If the offense avoids turning the ball over and the defense plays strong, then a couple of defensive scores (or near scores) could make the difference. Considering that BYU was #2 in forcing turnovers last year, such a thing is far from impossible, just rather unlikely. The biggest thing will be creating 3rd and longs (and keeping the score close) so that their QB will be forced to throw.
