Play: Point Spread: +4/-105 BYU
New Mexico Bowl Southern Methodist (-3.5) vs Brigham Young The ability to win a bowl game this season is coming into real fruition, and the ability to play slightly better D can elevate BYU and will. Brigham Young will attack the defense of SMU by putting the ball in the air early, with Jaren Hall slinging it and his 31 TDs and 264 /game. Christopher Brooks has a very quick cutting ability and is very hard to take down, the LBs of SMU are going to struggle if he gets to the second level. Southern Methodist needs to try and drop the ball right behind the LBs when passing, but LB Ben Bywater is a good covering LB for BYU. Southern Methodist has to not be afraid to take a shot downfield - but that's hard with the safeties that Brigham Young have. Mustangs are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. Independent Brigham Young wins taking the points
