Best Bet: BYU over 28.5 points (-110)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

BYU gritted through a Holy War win over the Utah Utes last week and went under this total. But that has been an anomaly for the Cougars this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far this season, BYU has scored over 28.5 points in seven of nine games. The Cougars average 33.7 PPG, which ranks 27th in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kansas Jayhawks have the No. 77 scoring defence, allowing 25.9 PPG. They’ve allowed five of their past six opponents to go over this total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kansas is particularly susceptible to getting stung when playing on the road, too. In each of its past three road games, KU allowed 29-plus points and 440-plus total yards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could see this game turning into a barn-burner, as Kansas has really found its footing on offence in recent games. Under fifth-year QB Jalon Daniels, the Jayhawks have topped 400 total yards in four straight games and are averaging 36.3 PPG in that span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both offences are capable of scoring quickly and in bunches, but Kansas’ winless road record makes me hesitant to back the over on the game total. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This seems like a comfortable team total for an explosive BYU attack, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> BYU has gone over 28.5 points in all four of its home games, averaging 39.5 PPG in those matchups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Florida +4.5 (-134):<\/strong> LSU is in a letdown spot this week after getting run out of its own building last Saturday against Alabama (losing 42-13 as a 3-point underdog).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Florida also got trounced last \u2014 at the hands of No. 3 Texas \u2014 but that was with standout freshman quarterback DJ Lagway on the sidelines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lagway is expected to return this week in The Swamp. So is running back Montrell Johnson Jr., who’s averaging 5.3 yards\/rush in six games. Florida is 5-0 ATS in Lagway’s past five starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LSU, meanwhile, is just 3-6 ATS on the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picks made at 11:10 a.m. on 11\/15\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
