This game isn’t on Wednesday, but I believe you’re going to want to bet it as soon as possible.

As of late Tuesday afternoon, the BYU Cougars were a 3¹/₂-point road underdog versus the Tennessee Volunteers at MGM, William Hill and other sportsbooks in New Jersey as well as all books in Nevada for their matchup Saturday night.

Tennessee lost its opener 38-30 to Georgia State last Saturday as a 25-point home favorite (and had to pay a $950,000 guarantee for the honor) in the biggest outright upset of the weekend (Georgia State closed as +1325 on the money line). And now comes BYU for a visit. The Cougars lost 30-12 to Utah, but there’s no shame in that as the Utes entered that game as the No. 14 team in the country. This is a step down in class for BYU while Tennessee is facing a better team than it just lost to, and I’m not so sure the right team is favored here.

In fact, Circa Sports in downtown Las Vegas was the first to post a line on this game on Sunday and made it just Tennessee -1 before other sportsbooks opened at -3 and the market moved in that direction. Nevertheless, I believe Circa had the right idea all along and this number should come down when everyone else figures out this line is too high. A point spread of 3 isn’t as strong in college football as it is in the pros, but you still want “3 and the hook” if you can get it.

The play: BYU +3¹/₂ at Tennessee (Saturday).
