Baylor vs BYU Prediction 

BYU comes into this matchup on a four game losing streak, but three of those losses came against Houston, Kansas, and Arizona. The Cougars are shooting 48% from the field and they have allowed 86+ points in three of their last four games. Baylor has won two of their last three and nearly knocked off Iowa State in their last game. The Bears are shooting 48% from the field and they have allowed 67 or fewer in three of their last four. I know BYU is struggling right now, but I don’t think Baylor is very good, despite the recent success. Take the Cougars on the road.
