Utah at BYU

Utah does everything well for coach Larry Krystkowiak. They are a strong defensive team and shoot .524% as a team, good for #8 in the nation. Utah is on a 50-21-3 ATS run, including 20-7-2 ATS in their last 29 non-conference games. In addition, the Utes are 20-5-2 ATS following a win. They took down #8 Wichita State in their previous game 69-68, allowing 38% shooting. The Utes top the PAC-12 in scoring defense (56.9 points per game) and rank in the top 20 nationally in field-goal percentage defense (35.6%). Rebounding has been another key defensively with the team leading the PAC-12 in total margin (+10.3). BYU has home court, but the Cougars are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games. Utah will bring its great defensive play and the Utes are 6-0 UNDER the total on the road, while BYU is 5-1 UNDER when facing a team with a winning record.  Utah demolished BYU 81-64 last year. Utah is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings, all as a dog, and the UNDER is 4-1 in the last five meetings. Take the points on Utah and play the UNDER in this one.
