Result: Win
BYU is coming into this game with a 4-0 record this season and they are coming off of their 1st conference win. They won at home against Kansas State in their last game, and they crushed them 38-9 as their defense dominated. They are going up against a Baylor team that is 2-2 this season and is coming off of a loss in their 1st conference game of the season. They lost 38-31 on the road against Colorado in OT, but that was actually their 2nd loss to a Big 12 opponent this season as they also lost on the road against Utah 23-12 in a game that was considered non-conference. Baylor will be at home for this game, but this is still a tough spot for them off of a taxing game that went to OT and now coming back from elevation. BYU has a very good defense that is averaging 12.8 points allowed per game in their first 4 games, and their pass defense has been especially good as they are only allowing an average of 132.8 passing yards per game and allowing opposing quarterbacks to complete just 49.2% of their passes. Baylor does not have a great run game as they are averaging 167 rushing yards per game but only 4.1 yards per carry on over 40 rushing attempts per game. Their pass game has not been efficient either as they are averaging less than 200 passing yards per game and completing less than 60% of their passes. BYU has a more balanced offense which will help them attack this Baylor defense and BYU also has the massive edge on defense which will be key to winning this game. BYU will cover the spread in this game.
