BYU vs. Fresno State Pick

I’m sticking with BYU here. Pretty much until the Cougars give me a reason to go against them I’m going to keep riding them. Fresno State is a decent team with decent talent, but I just don’t see them being able to match with or hold down the Cougars for a full 40 minutes. Give me BYU in this one.
