College football odds heavily favor BYU on Friday as they host in-state rival Utah State.

The Cougars will try and avoid having a letdown on Friday against the Aggies in college football betting lines.College football odds last week had BYU winning 42-23 win over Colorado State but it was a sloppy game for the Cougars. They had 10 penalties and played poorly on defense again. Quarterback Max Hall was erratic as had had two touchdowns but threw two interceptions. Harvey Unga did have three rushing touchdowns as college football odds stats showed. “I think it was one step closer to what we’re going to get from Harvey,” head coach Bronco Mendenhall said, “He runs hard, runs physical and is a good football player.”
