Bear Bachmeier (BYU) can be backed at -114 to finish with fewer than 217.5 passing yards. If you agree with our verdict that the line is too high, this QB Passing Yards wager is worth backing.
The odds for Creed Whittemore (Utah) to record fewer than 38.5 receiving yards are -114. We're confident he’ll fall short of the Player Receiving Yards line, so we're backing the Under.
