This is a difficult situational spot for BYU, in the middle of playing a stretch of three road games in four weeks. BYU is in a down spot coming off its first defeat, a 26-17 loss at home to Boise State as a TD favorite. It was their first home loss since September of 201, and it was just three games ago they beat South Florida, 35-27, as 24-point chalk. Now they take a long road trip to the Big 12 to face an explosive Baylor offense. The Bears are averaging 6.0 yards per rush behind RBs Abram Smith (597 yards, 7.7 yards per carry) and Trestan Ebner (401 yards, 6.1 per carry), while junior QB Gerry Bohanon has 11 TDs with no interceptions. The Bears come off a 45-20 rout of West Virginia while rolling up 525 yards. Baylor is 15-5 ATS when playing with six or fewer days of rest, plus 39-23 ATS after allowing 100 or fewer rushing yards in the last game. Back Baylor.
