Baylor at Utah College Football Pick & Prediction For 9/7/2024
In the upcoming Baylor vs Utah game on September 7, 2024, the Baylor Bears are currently listed as 14 point underdogs according to DraftKings Sportsbook. As of now, the Bears are favored in terms of the spread bets, with 60% of bets going to them, while the Utah Utes have 40% of the bets. The total is set at 53, with 59% of bets leaning towards the under and 41% towards the over. It will be an exciting matchup to see if the Bears can overcome the odds against the Utes.
Baylor Up Against First Road Test
The Baylor Bears got a win in their first game of the season at home, beating Tarleton State of the FCS by a margin of 45-3. The Bears were dominant on both sides of the ball in that matchup, something that could be tougher for them to accomplish this week as they hit the road for the first time this season in one of the toughest places to play in college football.
Baylor’s defense was great in their season opener, holding Tarleton State to just nine total first downs across four quarters of play. Against a much better offense in this Baylor vs Utah game, the Bears will not be able to push their opponent around all game. Instead, they will need to find ways to get stops even when they are being moved around early in Utah offensive possessions.
Can Utah Dominate Defensively Once Again?
The Utah Utes pitched a shutout in Week 1, beating Southern Utah 49-0. Cameron Rising enjoyed a triumphant return to the field after missing last year with injuries. He completed 10 of his 15 pass attempts for 254 yards and five touchdowns, though he is expected to face tougher competition in the form of the Baylor defense this week.
Just having Rising back on the field is such a lift for Utah after they were forced to play close to perfect defense to win games a season ago. With their starting signal caller back on the field, Utah now has a little more margin for error on both sides of the ball, though they hope not to have to use that here against Baylor.
Baylor vs Utah Best Bet
In Saturday’s Baylor vs Utah matchup in college football, we will go with Utah to cover the spread as a home favorite. The Utes have one of the best home-field advantages in all of college football which, combined with an elite defense, should help them to dominate their fellow members of the Big 12.
