The BYU-Michigan spread was coming in at Wolverines -6 as this game has turned out to be the most wagered on of the day Saturday. This one does go off at Noon EST.
Both teams come into this game with identical 2-1 records. Only the Cougars are ranked at #22 nationally.
BYU came up with two final-minute victories against Nebraska and Boise State but just narrowly lost in their last game as an underdog to UCLA, 24-23.
Tanner Mangum led the team on a 43-yard drive in the fourth quarter but was intercepted with 58 seconds left.
"The thing about a good quarterback is that he's not going to get down just for making one throwaway interception," receiver Mitchell Juergens said of his 22-year-old freshman signal-caller. "He's a champion, he's a leader, he's a captain, and he's going to come back from this."
The Cougars come into this game 5-1Against The Spread in their last six non-conference games but are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
The Wolverines are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 non-conference games and 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games following a Straight Up win.
The Wolverines are 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 games after accumulating less than 170 yards passing in their previous game. They are also just 1-8 Against The Spread in their last 9 games in September.
