This will be third duel QB in a row BYU has faced. BYU did a great job on Ark, Jefferson. We played well enough to beat a better qb (in my opinion) at Kansas (Daniels) but lost the game on 21 points scored by Kansas on TOs.

Oddsmakers don’t want to touch this game with a 10’ pole. it would take a $130 bet to win $100. Cinn is favored by -1.5 pts. at the start of this week, BYU was favored at -2.5 pts. so who knows.
BYU is at home and will be fired up in front of the crowd, Cinn. is also NOT too happy having to fly west for a late game ( 10:30 their time) on a SHORT Week…big advantage BYU.
I will go 24-21 BYU.
