Abilene Christian Wildcats vs BYU Cougars Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/19/25

The Abilene Christian Wildcats are coming off a 96-62 loss at Arizona last time out on Tuesday as 33.5-point underdogs, just missing the cover, as the over (145) cashed. Prior to that, the Wildcats cashed the over in a mild upset over New Mexico State at home on December 6th. The over is 3-1 in the past 4 games for the Wildcats. While Abilene Christian has struggled mightily on offense, it is OK at hitting 3-pointers. And, defensively, the Wildcats have allowed teams to hit 44.6 percent from the field and a whopping 35.8 percent from behind the arc — one of the worst marks in the nation.

For BYU, the No. 10 team in the nation has been on fire. The Cougars are a perfect 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS at the Marriott Center this season, while scoring 91 or more points in 3 of the past 4 outings. BYU has managed 85.7 PPG, while connecting at a feverish 49.3% pace from the field, and 36.6% from behind the arc. Defensively, though, the Cougars are very good, holding teams to just 65.3 PPG and 39.4% from the field. AJ Dybantsa has a lot to do with that, as he is a force on both sides of the floor, and Keba Keita is a rebounding machine. BYU will score plenty, but look for ACU to struggle. We’ll go low, as 145.5 is a lot of points. We’re likely to see a 85-55 kind of a game.
