BYU Hopes to Stay Ranked With Win In Waco
Last week, the BYU Cougars pulled off an impressive upset, beating up on the Kansas State Wildcats at home by a score of 38-9. The Wildcats were never really in that game, with BYU's defense forcing three turnovers. This week, BYU puts its unbeaten overall and conference records on the line against the Baylor Bears, along with their number-22 ranking. If the Cougars are going to get a win to stay unbeaten and stay ranked, they are going to need to rely more on their offense. BYU had just 241 yards of offense against Kansas State, scoring on both a fumble return and a punt return, which might not be sustainable here against Baylor.
Baylor Looks to Bounce Back From Late Heartbreak
The Baylor Bears choked last last week against the Colorado Buffaloes, giving up a Hail Mary touchdown at the end of the fourth quarter before losing in overtime. Baylor was the better team for most of their game against Colorado in Boulder, but it is not how you start that matters but rather how you finish. This week, the Bears will look to bounce back from that demoralizing defeat, as they put their 2-0 home record on the line against the Cougars. So far this year, Baylor has lost both of its games against Big 12 opponents, though their loss to Utah was considered a non-conference game. If they can get into the win column against a conference opponent this week, Baylor could turn its season around moving forward.
BYU vs Baylor Best Bet
In Saturday's BYU vs Baylor matchup, the BYU Cougars have the upper hand in our opinion. Baylor's defense has been too soft in big spots to trust them against power conference competition, even if the Bears are the home team for this game. Look for BYU to win and cover the spread as an underdog as they should keep their top-25 ranking when all is said and done in Waco.
