BYU -7 vs Arizona. The Cougars are the real deal at home.

The God of Odds likes BYU Cougars -7 at -110, and BetUS is the place to hammer it. This is a statement game for the Cougars, and the number is only going to get more expensive.

BYU opened the season with a 63-7 demolition, putting up 63.0 points per game while allowing just 7.0. That's a scoring margin of 56 points. Arizona also won its opener, but the Wildcats put up 35.0 points and allowed 7.0. The gap between these two offenses is enormous. BYU is scoring at a pace that Arizona simply cannot match, and the Cougars' defense has been just as stingy.

The Wildcats are 0-0 on the road this season, and their first true away test comes in Provo against a team that clearly has its offense firing on all cylinders. BYU is 1-0 at home and has yet to trail. The line has stayed steady at -7 across all offshore books, which tells you the sharps and the public agree: BYU is the superior team. When there's no line movement on a number like this, it usually means the market has it right. The Cougars are the side.

Arizona's 35-point output looks nice, but it came against a defense that is not BYU. The Cougars are allowing just 7.0 points per game, and they've done it with a dominant performance that saw them win by 56. The Wildcats have not faced a defense of this caliber yet. Expect BYU to control the trenches and pull away in the second half.

The best spread price is at BetUS, where you can get BYU -7 at -110. BetOnline.ag is offering -6.5 at -125, which is a worse number for the same side. You're laying the same points but paying a premium. BetUS gives you the standard -110 juice on the key number of -7, and that's where your money should go. If you shop around, you'll see -7 (-110) at BetUS, MyBookie, Bovada, BetAnything, and Everygame. But BetUS is the one to trust for this play.

This is a moderate-confidence pick because it's early in the season and the sample size is small. But the talent gap is clear. BYU is the better team, at home, with a defense that can shut down Arizona's offense. Lay the points with confidence.
