From the booth
BYU is absolutely going to town on this one, folks. The Cougars come in at 99 percent to win, and it's not even close. You've got a massive 47-and-a-half point spread, the betting market is locked in on BYU, and the Elo rating advantage tells the whole story here. Utah Tech's coming in as an unranked squad facing a number-14 team that's got everything working in its favor, and this one figures to be a blowout.
