How is Arizona a favorite?

[Addict101]

-3 over a solid BYU team. What am I missing here? Arizona was a VERY mediocre Pac-10 team.

 

[5-0SAT]

BYU regressed wholly over the 2nd half, they really just a moderately good team. AZ probably the play their.

I hear you, but BYU really gets up for bowl games, always a huge fan turnout.

Agree....if i remember correctly, washington's only cover was against byu....they have little team speed and were totally outclassed by tcu and utah (who is very overrated)....i like az here at well

Speaking the truth. Gotta take AZ here. :toast:

thought byu was going to be the favorite. they have been playing off their game lately and can see why az is favored. im just not sure i see byu losing this game. it'll be interesting to see if bronco can get them motivated for their 4th straight appearance to the lv bowl

Washington had a healthy Jake Locker when they played BYU.
HUGE HUGE HUGE difference between having Locker and not having him.

And as far as team speed goes, check out their recent game @ AFA.
Don't count their loss to TCU too much, nobody beats the horned frogs at home.
And that overrated Utah team also survived that (equally overrated) TCU team when TCU went traveling.

im kinda surprised zona is favored im not crazy about either one of these teams personally

34 Bowl games, you know the dogs are going to win straight up in probably 15-20 of the 34. I like BYU's chances.

General rule of thumb about betting bowl games (with a few exceptions, of course)...

Take the points on or before Dec. 31... lay the points on New Year's day and after.
