Am I missing something? No way BYU is that bad this season and SMU hasn't looked good from what I've watched so far. Seems like easy money for BYU to cover.

All SMU spreads should be 5 in honor of the 5 hookers that Craig James killed.

Based on what? Last 2 games they almost beat Oklahoma and at Oklahoma state in OT to end the season last year. Maybe they found something they could build on in those games to carry over to this season.

Based on the fact they are 150-1 to win the Big 12 and don’t have a very talented roster. I’m not trying to talk you out of your bet, but this BYU team is projected to be 4-8ish by oddsmakers.

They are only basing that on last year record and a lot can change from one season to the next. They also had WVU going 4-8 last season but they ended up 9-4.

BYU stayed In some big games last season. That tells me they have decent talent.

Mormons aren't big gamblers so Vegas is trying to entice action with a tasty line.

Question about BYU… are they in the NIL game like other universities given whom they are and what they represent?

I appreciate you trying at least but pretty much all you said was they suck because oddsmakers say they do. I'm looking for more concrete opinions on why and is SMU really that good from what people have seen.

Never get involved in a land war in Asia and never bet BYU games.

I'm what you would call a successful gambler. I love guys like you because you help keep the line respectable to help people like me(that know what they are doing) win money.


You posted that in another thread and you’re asking for advice from random people on the internet
