Utah is a heavy home favorite and the number reflects the gap between a ranked team playing its best football and a winless one. Rivalry games sometimes compress a spread late in the week as Aggie money comes in, so the closing line is worth watching.

How Both Teams Got Here
Utah is 2-0 and the Week 2 result was the statement: 43-10 over Arkansas, a 33 point win over an SEC opponent. The Utes opened with a 66-14 win over Idaho.
Utah State is 0-2 and both losses were close: 29-17 to Idaho State, an FCS opponent, in the opener, then 16-14 at No. 19 Washington in Week 2. Losing to Idaho State and then hanging with a ranked Big Ten team on the road in consecutive weeks is one of the stranger two game stretches in the country.
What to Watch
Which Utah State shows up. The Washington performance says this is a team that can play with anyone for four quarters when the defense travels; the Idaho State loss says the offense can disappear entirely. The Aggies scored 14 points against Washington and 17 against an FCS team.
Utah’s defense has allowed 24 points across two games. If Utah State cannot score more than twice, the rivalry angle will not matter much.
