Utah State (+24) over BYU
This game has no business being close. The Aggies are 1-3 (including a 35-7 loss to FCS foe Weber State), have failed to cover every spread and are outmatched in every way. It just seems like the spot for a Costanza.

The defending Mountain West champions are due to improve and Logan Bonner could get back on track against a BYU defense with just two interceptions this season. The potential for the Cougars looking ahead to a looming matchup with Notre Dame can’t hurt, either.
