Who’s ready for some BYU football?
BYU’s bye week is over and the Cougars are now in full preparation mode for a solid Northern Illinois team. Vegas released its week 9 odds and BYU opened as a 7-point favorite over NIU.
The Huskies (4-3) are coming off a bye week of their own and have played one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the country. Their non-conference slate has included Iowa, Utah and Florida State. They gave Utah all they could handle on their home field before falling late in a 17-6 defeat.
NIU currently sits at 4-0 in the MAC and have one of the best defensive ends in the country in Sutton Smith.
