Understanding Public and Money
Think of 'Public' as the percentage of people betting on each side and 'Money' as how much money is being bet. When there's a big difference between the 'Public' and 'Money' data, it usually means that the more serious bettors (referred to as 'Sharp Money') are favoring a particular side.

The Cougars have coasted to three wins with an ideal balanced offense behind dual-threat QB Bear Bachmeier, who has thrown for a single pick. They are deadly once in the red zone and are stepping out of a bye week. TCU is 0-2 SU against Power Four opposition, with just 23 points scored. Its glossy 12.5-point allowance per game is misleading, with its less impressive yardage yield. Good luck finding explosive plays given BYU’s No. 8 FBS rank for fewest allowed. The projected modest scoring might favor the Horned Frogs if the spread were north of seven points. At 6.5, BYU is for you.
The heart of BYU's offense remains its ground game, but TCU's rush defense is strong enough to slow the Cougars down, especially at home. Then there's the TCU offense, which is just bad.
