Vegas Ute

Utah as double digit underdog

Recommended Posts

This was posted on the Utefans.net board and I thought it was interesting....

Utah under Kyle Whittingham as a double digit underdog.

2007

Louisville +15 (won 44-35)

UCLA +16 (won 44-6)

2006

BYU +10.5 (lost 31-33)

2005

Georgia Tech +10 (won 38-10)

BYU +11 (won 41-34)

In other words Utah is 4-1 (5-0 ATS) as a big dog. I don't know exactly what those numbers mean but, as a Ute fan they do make me think a bit.

Care to post results when Utah's been double digit favorites????

Sorry I don't have that data handy... but sure I will post it if I find it.

FWIW: Utah has only been a double digit favorite once this season, (+20 vs. USU) they won straight (up but lost ATS) 34-18.

Off the top of my head I can't remember a loss in which Utah was a double digit favorite in the last 2-1/2 years... Maybe vs. SDSU in 2005?

UNLV maybe? I'm not sure..

Now I'm curious as to what the line was for Utah's double-digit losses under Whittingham. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/teamsched?teamId=254

2007

Lost to UNLV by 27

Lost to Oregon State by 17

2006

Lost to Wyoming by 16

Lost to Boise State by 33

Lost to UCLA by 21

2005

Lost to North Carolina by 14

Any idea on what the lines were in these 6 games Vegas?

#20 BYU 14, #3 Oklahoma 13

#18 BYU 26, #21 Utah 23

#14 BYU 44, #16 Oregon State 20

#10 BYU 82, Utah 69

#14 BYU 71, Utah 51

#16 BYU 99, Florida 92

I doubt you are that curious since some of that info is in the thread...

Utah was a 7.5 point favorite at UNLV and a 6 point underdog at Oregon State.

I don't have the lines for past years (someone else's data base). But if you trust my memory...

Utah was a mild favorite vs. Wyo and Boise in 2006 while being a 5 or 6 point dog at UCLA.

I think the UNC game was also a near "pick-em" in 2005, Utah may have been a mild favorite.

So if Utah is favored by double digits, they win.

If Utah is the underdog by double digits, they win.

If the line is within one TD either way, Utah gets blown out.

Whittingham is an odd coach. Not "horrible" per-say, but certainly "head-scratching". You might label him a "big-game" coach -a lot like Tuberville at Auburn-, which doesn't win you conference championships.

#20 BYU 14, #3 Oklahoma 13

#18 BYU 26, #21 Utah 23

#14 BYU 44, #16 Oregon State 20

#10 BYU 82, Utah 69

#14 BYU 71, Utah 51

#16 BYU 99, Florida 92

Define "blowout". I consider a blowout losing by 3 TDs or more.

There have been 31 games so far in the KW regime. In 13 of them Utah was either a double digit favorite, or a double digit underdog.

In those games, Utah is 11-2 (4-1 when the other team is favored, 7-1 when Utah is favored.)

That leaves 18 games where the spread is under 10 points.

Utah's record in those 18 games is 7-11.

6 of the 11 losses were within 1 posession.

Utah has been "blown out" 3 times during the KW regime.

2006 UCLA (21 points)

2006 Boise State (30 points)

2007 UNLV (27 points)

In contrast, Utah has 8 "blowout" wins in the same time frame.

"Had to come back real quick for this one.....

Boise St finished 4th in the coaches poll, same as Utah. Had Petersen violated the rules and voted Boise St #1 like Whittingham, Boise St would have finished no worse than THIRD and very likely 2nd. Look at how few votes seperated BSU and Florida.
