This is an 8* play on the OVER between Utah State and Utah.
Both teams return plenty of starters from successful teams last season. As mentioned in my play on Utah:
If you are a Utes fan and if you were on the ball, you'd have been able to get Utah at -10.5 when the lines first came out. But if you were late by even an hour, then you'd likely have gotten -13.5. While the Aggies have closed the talent gap in recent years, note that Utah is still 13-1 SU and 11-3 ATS in its last 14 vs. its in-state rival. There is some room for optimism though if you're a USU fan, 15 starters returned from a team that went 10-4 last season, including QB Chuckie Keeton and six on defense. That said, the team looked pretty sluggish in last week's 12-9 win over lowly Southern Utah. We played against Utah last week and got burned, but we won't make the same mistake in Week 2, the Utes would out-rush the Wolverines 129-76 on the offensive side and would also grab three interceptions on the defensive side. We expect Utah to come in focused here after last week's pressure packed game, remember that 14 starters returned from last year's 9-4 team, including QB Travis Wilson, RB Devontae Booker and seven on defense. Note that Utah State is just 5-7 ATS in its last 12 non-conference games and only 3-6 ATS in its last nine as an underdog, while Utah is 8-0 ATS in its last eight non-confernece games and is 8-5 ATS in its last 13 as a favorite. As mentioned off the top, the Aggies have made big strides with their program over the last couple of season's, but the combination of Utah's experience and explosive, nation-leading offensive players does indeed make the UTES the savvy move in this one.
Both team's have plenty of offensive playmakers and while each is coming off a low-scoring victory, we feel that tonight's contest will be more of a shootout. And the trends do indeed back us up on that assertion, as Utah State has seen the total go OVER the number in its last three as an underdog in the 10.5 to 21 points range, while Utah has seen the total fly above the posted number in two of its last three vs. the Mountain West. All signs point to this total eclipsing the posted number as the game comes down the stretch, play on the OVER.
