BYU remains one of the few independent programs and they always play a challenging schedule. They are not coming off a good season but their might be some progress this year.

There is a lot of excitement in Tempe thanks to a new coach and a Heisman hopeful at quarterback. This is a late game but it is definitely worth staying up for.
BYU Cougars
The Cougars won only four games last season – three were against alsorans from the Mountain West so there was no a lot to get excited about. This is always a tough team to peg because their roster fluctuates more than others.
Tanner Mangum is back at quarterback and he is one of the most experienced signal callers in college football. That is a good thing because he is going to need it. The offense was not very good a year ago.

The defense was much better – just 24ppg allowed. They have 6 returning starters and are generally good in the trenches. Stopping the run is going to be critical in this matchup.
Arizona Wildcats
Kevin Sumlin may be a lot of things but he is never boring. I am not sure how things work out for him in the dessert but I am excited to see and think Arizona will have a good season.
Kahlil Tate was virtually unknown coming into last season and now he is a legend. There is not a better running quarterback in the college game right now. His numbers a year ago were insane.

Arizona is going to score some points this season and in this matchup their defense should be more than fine.
They are young on that side of the ball and this is a relatively easy way to start the season for that group.

Arizona is definitely a buzz team heading into the season and deservedly so. The line is not too large right now, though currently sitting in the dead zone so to speak. .
4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Arizona -11.5
You always want to make sure you are getting the best number but I think this one is not likely to be all that close so fire away.
Kahlil Tate should have a big day in this one and be one of the stars of the opening weekend. Look for something like 150/250 on the way to an easy victory.
