Sure you did.

Yeah I had the same problem with Utah State. I picked 48-17 not 58-10.

Utah / Air Force is intriguing because Utah has the 8th best defense in the nation, and Air Force has no passing game this year whatoever- they are ranked 119th out of 119. Their offense is solely the running game, and Utah yields only 2.2 yards per attempt. So that score is a tricky one to predict.

Keep in mind, Utah's faced thus far the following:

Michigan: #84 rushing O. 3.66 ypr
UNLV: #78 rushing O. 3.88 ypr
USU: #114 rushing O. 2.43 ypr


I'm not claiming Utah doesn't have a good rush defense, only that Utah's D has probably benefited from some rather inept rushing attacks so far.

AFA: #2 rushing O. 5.11 ypr.

Just curious, what is the variance between yearly average and their average against Utah? That to me tells more of a story than just their average.
