Here, we break down BYU vs Utah in the Holy War and make our prediction for the game in the betting markets.

BYU Looks to Stay Perfect In Holy War

The BYU Cougars are still undefeated going into the BYU vs Utah matchup in college football on Saturday. They are ranked ninth in the country going into this matchup, with the question being whether they can stay perfect on the road in a rivalry game against Utah this weekend. BYU’s offense has averaged 35.1 points per game on the year, but their offense will be tested against a Utah defense that has had to carry their team all season long.

Utah In Deep Trouble In Big 12 Play

Utah has been a huge disappointment this year, going 4-4 overall and 1-4 in conference play in the Big 12. The Utes have once again had to deal with injuries to quarterback Cameron Rising this season, which has stopped their offense from functioning consistently. Rising has been ruled out for the rest of the season and it will be up to Isaac Wilson to produce in his place late in the season.

BYU vs Utah Best Bet

Our best bet for BYU vs Utah is for the BYU Cougars to win and cover the spread as a road favorite in the Holy War. The Cougars offense is likely to slow down from its usual standard against a very good Utah defense. But the Utes’ lack of offensive consistency will prevent them from staying inside of the point spread in this rivalry game that has made its way to the Big 12.
