Final Thoughts
BYU enters as a heavy favorite with home-field advantage and momentum, while Stanford is still finding its footing. The Cougars’ physicality and depth should wear down the Cardinal, but large spreads early in the season always carry risk.
Bet Considerations:
- Spread: BYU –14.5 has public support, but Stanford may sneak in a late cover if the Cougars rotate early.
- Total: At 54.5, the Over looks live with BYU’s offense in rhythm and Stanford’s defense vulnerable.
