This is an 8* play on Utah.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS statistics:

As note that Utah is 7-3 ATS in its last ten off a loss against a conference rival and 7-1 ATS in its last eight against a team with a winning record, while WSU is just 2-3 ATS in its last five off a loss against a conference rival and only 6-7 ATS in it last 13 against teams with winning records.

The bottom line: Look for Utah's tough defense to be too much for WSU to contend with. Play on UTAH.
