BYU Cougars vs Baylor Bears Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 02/10/26

Tuesday’s Big 12 action takes us to Waco, where the BYU Cougars face the Baylor Bears. There will be plenty of stars in this game, including several future first-round picks on both sides. BYU comes into the game riding a nasty losing streak. The Cougars have lost 4 in a row and 5 of 6, although aside from a road loss to Oklahoma State those losses have all come against the elite teams in the conference. Baylor, on the other hand, has been playing much better lately — winning 2 of 3 and giving Iowa State a scare on the road last Saturday. Most people will be surprised at this line; I think it is suspicious. I am playing Baylor +3.5.

This line feels like a trap. Lots of eyebrows will raise today as folks see this line, and so far roughly 80% of bettors have started grabbing the BYU side. That’s not surprising given how poorly Baylor has played this season. There is talent in Waco, though, especially on the offensive side. The issues for Baylor are that it has no inside presence. The Bears are terrible on the glass and they play a very short rotation — things that BYU should be able to exploit. But BYU has had real problems lately, too. The Cougars are allowing teams to score at will, especially from deep, and they almost always take the first half off — leaving themselves a hill to climb in the second half. Every road game in the Big 12 is a tough one, and it feels like the books are baiting us to take the Cougars. I’m going to go the other way and find out why.

BYU vs Baylor prediction: Baylor +3.5 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
