The current betting odds have Utah listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Utah has looked really good in their games this season with their 7-2 record overall and their 4-2 conference record which has them higher in the Big 12. They are off a big 45-14 win over a good Cincinnati in their last one so that win should give them some momentum going forward. Meanwhile, Baylor has looked good in their games this season with their 5-4 record overall, but their 3-3 conference record has them in the middle of the Big 12. They are off a 30-3 win over UCF in their last one and now they are coming out of their bye week with extra time to prepare, but they are only 3-2 in their home games this season and Utah is also coming out of their bye week. Baylor hasn't been a bad team this season as they have a really good offense that has been putting up a ton of points, but they have been really up and down this year since they do have a terrible defense that has been giving up a ton of points. Utah has been crushing lesser opponents in the Big 12 all season so they are going to put up points on this terrible Baylor defense, but Baylor will struggle against Utah's defense which has been really good all year. The best way to place a bet here is on Utah to cover the spread in this game.
