As the college football season approaches, sportsbooks are unveiling early betting lines for key matchups involving Brigham Young University (BYU). In a highly anticipated game against Notre Dame, BYU is currently an 11.5-point underdog, a figure that has since shifted to 10.5 points, reflecting some optimism from bettors. This matchup is significant as it could feature two top 10 teams in October, marking a crucial test for both programs. Over the past two seasons, BYU has consistently outperformed sportsbooks' expectations, achieving an impressive 11-2 record in 2024 and a 12-2 record in 2025. Additionally, BYU's home record stands at 11-1, with potential to extend to 14-1 by the time Notre Dame visits Provo. In another rivalry game, BYU will face Utah, where they are projected as 3-point underdogs. This matchup is expected to be closely contested, with BYU having won the last three encounters. The upcoming game will also see a new chapter in the rivalry as Morgan Scalley takes over as Utah's head coach, following Kyle Whittingham's departure. A victory would mark BYU's longest winning streak over Utah since the late 80s/early 90s, making this a pivotal season for both teams.
