Colorado vs BYU Prediction

In this Colorado vs BYU Prediction, BYU is coming as -13.5 home favorites. BYU has been the better team this season but have been struggling lately, with a 1-4 record in their last 5 games and a horrible 1-8 against the spread in their last 9. Colorado has also been in terrible form lately, with a 2-8 record in its last 10 games and 2-7 against the spread, so I am not interested in picking a side between two struggling squads. BYU has a top-30 offense this season and a result, they are 5-1 to the over in their last 6 games and the previous meeting last season between those two teams was a high-scoring one. Take the over 162.5 points in this one.
