Great note on the Phil Steele site: BYU has played at this stadium three times in the last 13 months (this bowl last year plus a visit to UNLV), so the temptation of Sin City may not be so novel as it might be to the neon-clad Oregon squad.
THE PICK
BYU -3 at presstime, and the digit is 61.
I am very confident of the Cougars in this one against the spread, but that number is awfully high with two good defenses (NCAA avg was 44 ppg this year).
Plus, remember that BYU does the haka...
