BYU might is no longer a part of the Mountain West Conference but they still played a few games against some familiar foes this season. \u00a0This will be a chance to show the MWC that they are still a program to be reckoned with. <\/p>\n

Buy Razor Ray’s Picks Today!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n As an independent the BYU Cougars play a pretty fair schedule.<\/p>\n They have lost 5 games this season but with the exception of losing the Holy War to Utah they have been to good teams, although who could have guessed that San Jose State, and especially Notre Dame would be so strong this season.<\/p>\n The interesting thing about BYU this year was how they became a defense first team, ranking 5th in the nation in points allowed – 14ppg. \u00a0They have some great linebackers that overshadowed the offensive talent but things might have been different for BYU if QB Taysom Hill hadn\u2019t gotten hurt.<\/p>\n His running style gave the offense some life but Riley Nelson is the more experienced option anyway(nice fallback). \u00a0BYU is just 6-6 ATS this season including a strong 4-2 against the number on the road.<\/p>\n The game is in the Aztecs backyard so that is what this game will essentially be.<\/p>\n It is safe to say that the Aztecs are on a roll.<\/p>\n After losing their MWC opener to Fresno State they rattled off 7 straight wins, including impressive road victories against Nevada and Boise State. \u00a06 of those 7 victories were ATS wins too and now they get to host a bowl game against a familiar opponent.[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n Sounds like a pretty good situation for backing San Diego State…One of the things that is super impressive about the Aztecs current run is that they are doing it without starting QB Ryan Katz who went down with injury 6 weeks ago. \u00a0In came sophomore Adam Dingwell and they didn\u2019t miss a beat.<\/p>\n His first start was that road game @ Nevada where he was dynamite with three TDS and no picks. \u00a0Nobody knows who Dingwell is, or fellow soph Adam Muema even though Muema has two 200 yard rushing games this year and more than 1300 yards on the season.<\/p>\n He is critical to the 16th ranked rushing attack in the nation which will challenge BYU straight on.<\/p>\n As long as the number doesn\u2019t get too back I think you have to back SDSU.<\/p>\n Spread Pick: \u00a0San Diego State +2.5<\/strong> Cougars vs Aztecs College Football Spread\/Handicapping BYU might is no longer a part of the Mountain West Conference but they still played a few games against some familiar foes this season. \u00a0This will be a chance to show the MWC that they are still a program to be reckoned with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":30899,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[57262,5039,45559,45560,324,325,45561,766,770,5820,31822],"class_list":["post-58042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ncaa-football","tag-2012-poinsettia-bowl","tag-byu-cougars","tag-byu-cougars-vs-san-diego-st-aztecs","tag-byu-vs-san-diego-st","tag-college-football-odds","tag-college-football-picks","tag-cougars-vs-aztecs","tag-ncaa-football-lines","tag-ncaa-football-predictions","tag-poinsettia-bowl","tag-san-diego-st-aztecs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58042"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58042\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58204,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58042\/revisions\/58204"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30899"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
