The price has dropped in this first "Battle of the Brothers" since 2015 thanks to Utes QB Cam Rising dealing with a finger injury and not expected to play. Frosh Isaac Wilson, who has seen action in the first two games, and well-regarded by Kyle Whittingham, is expected to get the start. The main reason for this recommendation, however, is abject distrust on a bad Utags situation made worse by new AD Diana Sabau, who recently forced out HC Blake Anderson (who is filing suit in protest) and turned over the reins to interim Nate Dreiling, who has looked lost on the sidelines. Even with former Utah QB Bryson Barnes facing his old team, find little reason to support the Utags. Play Utah
When standout QB Cam Rising left last Saturday's game in the second quarter with an injured finger, Utah had scored 23 points. Its total at the end: 23. The Utes might hold out Rising, which could lead to more tepid offense. The Aggies are familiar with not scoring; they failed to do so in four quarters against USC last Saturday. But given that the intrastate series was put on hold in 2015, the little-brother Aggies will find greater motivation for the resumption. A super-low total suggests that the Utes won't score much, opening the door for a cover by State.
