Written By: Evan PerkinsThe 12th-ranked Utah Utes (2-0) aim to extend their winning streak when they battle against the Utah State Aggies (1-1) on Saturday, September 14 at 4:30 PM ET. This college football betting opportunity will take place at Maverik Stadium in Logan, Utah, where the Utes have a point spread at -20.0 (-110).
The Utes recently defeated the Baylor Bears 23-12 in their last game, which was supposed to be a higher margin. Quarterback Cam Rising was playing great before injuring his throwing hand and had to leave the game.
The team still performed well but had no points in the second half. Rising completed eight of 14 passes for 92 yards and had two touchdowns before leaving.
The offense was pretty close on paper regarding total yards and first downs. The Utes forced a turnover and blocked a field goal to run it back for a touchdown.
They are averaging 36.0 points per game so far and are allowing their opponents to score 6.0 points in return. This is a great margin of victory, and they will have an opportunity to keep this momentum going.
The Aggies are searching for a way to get back on track after being blown out by the 12th-ranked USC Trojans, 48-0. This marked the first time USC has shut anyone out since 2011.
Bryson Barnes completed 18 of his 27 passes for 103 yards but had an interception. Rahsul Faison carried nine times and had 54 yards. This is a solid attempt, but they must find other ways to produce more offense.
The Aggies gained 190 yards, 10 first downs, and a turnover. The Trojans gained 544 yards, 28 first downs, and a turnover. They cannot afford the Utes to get comfortable on offense if they want to win.
They played well against the Robert Morris Colonials in their first game, 36-14. But they are facing another team attempting to climb in the top-10 rankings, and they will need easy wins like this to do so.
MyBookie gives you the best college football betting odds in the upcoming Utah Utes vs. Utah State Aggies matchup. Current odds show the Utes as 20-point favorites, while market insights suggest the Utes have a 92.7 percent chance of winning overall.
The Utes are too strong on both sides of the ball for the Aggies to contend with. After all, the Aggies were shut out in their 48-point loss to the Trojans and will likely have issues again. Look for the Utes to cover the spread.
