Dec. 18, 2014
BYU answered the bell in a battle against Cal, and now closes out the 2014 season with a bowl matchup against co-champs of the AAC, Memphis. Let's look at how BYU is expected to fare against the Tigers from sportsbooks and predictors.
(This is, of course, for entertainment purposes only. While we don't encourage gambling, referencing predictions from the people who make money on predictions can be interesting.)
LINES AND ODDS
When sports books opened lines on the game, BYU was favored by 1.5 points. Money has come in for the Tigers and Memphis is now favored by 1. The over/under has moved to 57.5.
Vegas lines and odds aren't necessarily meant to predict, but to entice betting. However, combining the line and the over/under usually ends up close to some computer models. At the very least, it's fun.
Combining the line and the over/under, the Vegas combo has Memphis winning 29-28.
