Schule's NCAAF ULTIMATE of the ULTIMATE
(NCAAF) BYU vs. Michigan, 09/26/2015 8:00 AM, Score: 0 - 31
Point Spread: 4.50 | -106.00 BYU (Away)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the BYU Cougars.

The Cougars nearly shocked the UCLA Bruins in California last Saturday, but they allowed a last minute TD, falling to 2-1 on the season. They have another tough road game this Saturday in Michigan, facing the 2-1 Wolverines. This looks like a very tough matchup for offensively anemic Wolverines though, with their struggling quarterback going up against a defense that has picked off opposing quarterbacks six times in the last two weeks, despite the fact that both games came against ranked teams. They are tied for the FBS lead with seven total picks.

Jake Rudock has been picked off five times in three games, and he only threw for 123 yards against the UNLV Rebels at home last week. The Cougars are in great shape with freshman quarterback Tanner Mangum, who has the highest completion percentage for a BYU quarterback since Max Hall in 2009. "He's amazing," coach Bronco Mendenhall said. "Road games are not too big. Different stadiums, different teams -- he's showing a lot of command for a true freshman."

Michigan hasn't been kind to bettors lately, failing to cover in six of their last seven non-conference games, and eight of their last nine in September. I think they continue to be overrated, and I can't see any reason why they should be laying points here against a ranked opponent.

Take BYU.
