Yesterday at the game, I told someone that I thought the spread for Saturday’s Homecoming game could be as high as BYU -10 given that the Cougars were undefeated and looked like a top-10 team. One dominant Bears win coupled with a BYU loss to Boise State (still not a state, by the way) later, and VegasInsider.com has the spread as Baylor -1.5. Even accounting for the typical 3-point swing toward the home team, that is far more favorable to Baylor than I expected. One book even has the line as high as Baylor -4.
