Considering the vast majority of Utah fans do not have access to legal sports betting, it is certainly not Utah fans that are pushing the line in Utah’s direction. Utah is tough to beat at home. I believe Utah is 16-2 in our last 18 home games — with one of those losses being 2020 USC with no fans and USC already having played games when Utah hadn’t.
ASU has also had road struggles the past few years. Not surprising the spread opened very tight and the line has moved in Utah’s direction.
