This is from the same capper from another site that predicted the final score of the Civil War a couple weeks ago.
Vegas Bowl Summary:
I was baffled when I first saw Beavers as Favorite
Over Bedazzling 10-2 BYU
Albeit, very slight fav, under a FG; Ore St -2.5
History & another strong Beav ATS finish
MUST have played determinant role
* Beavers GREAT w/Time
* Beavers EVEN BETTER in Post Season w/Riley:
* 5 BOWL W's (4-1 ATS)
BYU TRULY is above Ore St in nearly every stat category;
Which one may expect in slightly less-arduous MWC.
TWO BYU GMS remain supplanted in OUR collective memory Banks:
BYU getting RUN OVER at Hm vs. Fla St
BYU being WORKED at Hm vs. TCU
I'd argue that that Gm 'A' was a FLUKE if ever there was one...
FSU was inexplicable +5 in T-Overs,
BYU Below Avg in T-Overs on Yr
AND BYU Outgained FSU by nearly 100 Yds
Gm 'B', well...
TCU was Wrecking Crew in 2nd Half of Season
THOSE TWO ASIDE: BYU WAS 10-0
BYU + AVG'S, all MORE Than Ore ST:
RUSH YDS: +4.5
PASS YDS: +12.9
TTL YD MGN: +42
DEF RYA: -3.3
DEF PYA: -22.8
PPG MGN: +5.7
Motivation:
Yes, Cougs have been to Vegas 5X
BUT, they have Lg Fan Caravan to LV, &
BYU LOVES to show up PAC-10
...and Bronco knows Beavers WAAYY too well.
Beavers had shortest Bowl Prep Wk...EVER -
Finals JUST ENDED here last wk;
The "w/Time" Factor is Nearly absent altogether:
CIVIL WAR Loss not only left this tm deflated mentally,
Dec 4, day after CW, to Dec 22, minus most of Finals (skeleton sched Wk),
Beavers had about a THIRD normal Bowl Practices
Moreover, BEAVERS had very dejected, listless practices here...
pissed me off, as Beaver Fan - since it is NOT like Riley Tms
ALL TALK WAS ABOUT..."AT TCU then AT BOISE" 2010 OOC SCHEDULE!
This one feels like a giant "BOWL" of WRONG for Beavers...
2 UNITS
BRIGHAM YOUNG +3 (Bodog -105)
