The BYU Cougars hope to end a two-game straight-up losing streak on Saturday when they host the Wisconsin Badgers in a Week 3 matchup at LaVell Edwards Stadium. The Cougars fell 19-13 to Utah last weekend as 5-point underdogs, while the Badgers failed to cover as 34.5-point chalk in a 31-14 win over Florida Atlantic.
- BYU is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 games in Week 3.
- Wisconsin is 13-1 SU in its last 14 games in Week 3.
- Wisconsin is 5-2 ATS in its last seven games in September.
The Cougars will hit the gridiron as home underdogs for the second week in a row, and the fifth time in their past 26 dates on home turf. BYU has been a consistent Sportsbook at home, going 14-2 SU in its past 16 overall, but just 2-5 ATS in its past seven. The squad has lost SU in two straight as a home underdog, averaging just 13.5 points per game in those outings.
After routing Utah State 59-10 as 27.5-point home chalk in Week 1, the Badgers failed to run up the score in last Saturday’s win over the Owls. Wisconsin now has just one ATS win in its past five overall, but is 5-1-1 ATS in seven games away from Camp Randall Stadium.
This marks just the third all-time meeting between these two squads. Wisconsin posted a 27-17 win over the Cougars as 9.5-point home chalk in 2013, while BYU picked up a 28-3 home victory in September 1980.
