With millions worldwide placing bets on college football every week, following which teams become the best to bet on is a consistently important aspect of sports betting.
Two teams from the Big 12 Conference have quickly become fan favorites when it comes to betting the spread, as both BYU and UCF have performed well in 2024.
Both teams have yet to miss covering a spread in 2024, with UCF cashing wins over New Hampshire 57-3, Sam Houston 45-14, and TCU 35-34. For BYU, the team has gone 4-0 against the spread in their 41-13 win over Southern Illinois, 18-15 victory over SMU, 34-14 win over Wyoming, and a 38-9 win over Kansas State.
BYU is coming off a massive win over No. 13 Kansas State, which earned them a spot in the AP Top 25 poll for the first time in 2024. UCF is fresh and rested heading into a Week 5 game against Colorado after having an early bye week in Week 4.
BYU enters their Week 5 matchup against Dave Aranda and the Baylor Bears as three-point underdogs, while UCF takes on Colorado as 14.5-point favorites.
Saturday’s slate of games kicks off at 11:00 with BYU taking on Baylor followed by UCF and Colorado at 2:30 p.m. CT.
