Total is currently at 128.5. This seems at least 4-5 points too low. Earlier this year when these 2 teams met at BYU, total hit 154 (Utah W 79-75). Also, here are the teams' scoring stats:
Overall Stats

Utah 76.0
Defense Against

Averages to a score of 67-67 (Total = 134)
In my opinion, the correct total line should be around 132-133. 128.5 is a bargain, especially since this should be a good game and the possibility of OT is there.
