The last time these teams met was two years ago and BYU salvaged a 17-16 win as an 11.5-point favorite. BYU has yet to beat an FBS team this season and the Cougars average a minuscule 12.1 points per game, which is fewer than the point spread for this game. BYU is #128 out of 130 FBS teams with 264.8 yards of total offense per game making even San Jose State look good as the Spartans average 329.5 total offense yards. BYU lost to East Carolina while San Jose State covered against Hawaii as a 17-point underdog in their last games. Quarterback Montel Aaron had a decent game for the Spartans throwing for 322 yards on 17-of-27 with two touchdowns. The Cougars still haven't covered the number this year with a current 0-8 ATS record and do not deserve to be laying this many points to anyone. Play San Jose State.

BYU at San Jose State

The BYU Cougars love to play at a fast pace, but they have had to do so without QB Taysom Hill, and star running back Jamaal Williams. The injuries keep mounting on offense for this team, and now have three offensive lineman that are doubtful for this game vs. San Jose State. It is hard to see this team overcoming what they have to deal with this week offensively. BYU does have a slightly above-average defense, which will be called upon to carry the day in this one against a pedestrian Spartans attack. The best part of the Spartans defense is the back seven and they should be able to limit the Cougars passing attack. The Cougars have brought the defense for these Friday affairs, as they have logged a 17-4-1 mark to the UNDER in their last 22 Friday tilts, while the Spartans own a 5-2 mark to the UNDER in their last seven vs. a winning team. The UNDER gets the nod in this one.
