I really like this spot for Washington. Here are the main factors behind taking Washington -17.
1) You have a classic "fade the popular underdog" scenario. The public has piled onto BYU, between 75-80% of the wagers are coming in on BYU. Backing home favorites where the public is on the road underdog has been a profitable scenario for me.
2) There is reverse line movement -- and it's through a "key number." The line opened at Wash -16.5 and depsite BYU getting 75-80% of the wagers, the line moved to -17 and has just recently moved to -17.5 at certain books.
Washington has quietly gotten off to a 3-1 start, only losing a close one in their season opener. The public just saw BYU make some history by upsetting Wisconsin in Wisconsin as 23.5 underdogs. The public is overreacting here, expecting BYU to hang in there with Washington. Looking for Browning to have a big game... and for BYU to really struggle to throw the ball at all.
Washington should roll in this one -- take Wash -17 as my play for the day!
