The Cougars of BYU take the hop over the Rocky Mountains to Boulder to take on the Buffaloes at CU Events Center. BYU has rattled off 11 victories this season, but it is 0-4 in 4 true road games this season. In addition, the Cougars have covered just once in the past 5 games. It came close to ending a lot of that frustration last time out, falling 73-72 in overtime at Utah on Saturday as the Under (151) still hung on. The total has gone low in 3 of the past 4 games, while cashing in each of the past 2 road games. BYU has a solid defense, allowing just 67.0 ppg, while teams are hitting just 41.7% from the field.
For the Buffaloes, they’re on a 6-game skid since December 30 while going just 1-6 ATS in the past 7 outings. As such, we’ll avoid playing Colorado or BYU on the line. Instead, let’s focus on the total. The Under has a slight 5-4-1 edge in the past 10 games while going 4-3 in the past 7 at home. While Colorado’s defense is so-so, the offense isn’t very good at all. The Buffs go for just 73.8 ppg, and it hits a mediocre 46% from the field and 34% from behind the arc. The Buffaloes should struggle against BYU’s defense, so the Under looks a good spot here.
