This is an 8* TOP SITUATIONAL SIDE on BYU.

UVA has won four in a row, but I expect its win streak to come to an end here today at BYU.

The Cavs most recently are coming off a tight 48-40 win over Georgia Tech.

BYU is off a 21-9 win over Washington State as a 3.5-point favorite.

Overall UVA averages 37.6 PPG. QB Brennan Armstrong has 3,220 passing yards, 23 touchdowns and six interceptions. The Cavaliers haven't been fantastic defensively though, conceding 26.4 PPG on average, they took another step back in last weekend's win after allowing 40 points to the lowly Yellow Jackets.

BYU won't be taking anything for granted after breaking its two game losing streak last weekend.

The Cougars are averaging 26.3 PPG and QB Jaren Hall has 1,348 passing yards, nine TD's and three INT's. Tyler Allgeier had 866 rushing yards and 11 TD's.

BYU has been sharp on the defensive end, conceding just 22.5 PPG.

The Cougars have a great run game and I expect them to take advantage of this clearly struggling Cavaliers defense.

I look for BYU to pull away late for a comfortable cover.

Good luck, NP
