Loyola Marymount at BYU

Run-and-gun BYU is a big favorite because of that high-scoring offense, #1 in the nation in points scored. However, you have to play some defense and the Cougars have lost two of their last five games, including their last game to West Coast rival Pepperdine 67-61, as 15-point chalk. BYU is on a 2-5 ATS run as well as 2-6 ATS in conference play. The Cougars are also 0-6 ATS in their last six home games.
