This is likely to wind up being the worst or one of the worst Utah teams in recent memory. The Utes escaped with a 12-point win vs. equally bad Idaho State. in their last game, but that just keeps this line from being higher. It doesn't cover up their eight straight losses, of which the last six have been by an average of 24 points per game. Portland will certainly be offering more resistance than Idaho St. did here and playing to a similar line offers some significant value on the Pilots who own a win vs. a pretty good Georgia St. team that is 8-3. Portland relishes the role as a favorite of less than -7 now at 19-7 ATS in their last 26. The Utes have taken the money in just three of their last 12. The play is on Portland in this one.
