What cashed

Legend Glasker 50+ receiving yards (-172 at FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: Glasker had 50 or more receiving yards in 6 of 7 games and 4 of his last 5, as Bear Bachmeier's top target. FanDuel's -172 was the better number. - What happened: Glasker caught 4 passes for 87 yards with a long of 53, clearing 50 by 37.5. The one long catch nearly covered the line by itself. - Worth watching: When a receiver is the clear top option and can hit on one big play, a yardage line around 50 stays in play. We will keep watching his number.

ALT: Bear Bachmeier 175+ passing yards (-385 at FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: Bachmeier had 175 or more in 8 of his last 10 games, averaging 224 and 270 over his last 3, with attempts climbing. His main line was 229.5, so the alt at 175 gave real room. - What happened: Bachmeier completed 19 of 30 passes for 236 yards with a touchdown and an interception, clearing 175 by 61.5. He even beat the main line. BYU ran for only 47 yards on 30 carries, so the offense leaned on his arm. - Worth watching: With BYU's run game this quiet, Bachmeier's passing yardage carries the offense. That keeps his alt passing lines useful as parlay legs, though the price is too steep alone.

ALT: Omarion Miller 37+ receiving yards (-115 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Miller had cleared 37 receiving yards in 6 of his last 10 games and 13 of his last 18. At -115, about 53% implied, versus about 64% from his recent games. - What happened: This one went right to the wire. Miller caught 4 passes for exactly 37 yards, half a yard over. The biggest was a 20-yard touchdown from Fette in the third quarter that cut BYU's lead to 17-10. - Worth watching: Arizona State threw 42 times for only 166 yards, so Miller got there on a tough passing day. In a cleaner game script his line has more room.

ALT: Arizona State over 16.5 team points (+100 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Arizona State had scored 17 or more in 9 of its last 10 games, including all 7 this season, and in 7 of its last 8 road games. BYU had allowed 17 or more in 6 of its last 10. - What happened: Arizona State reached 17 on Fette's 1-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Miller late in the third quarter, then added a 44-yard Carson Smith field goal with 57 seconds left to finish at 20, 3.5 over the line. - Worth watching: Priced around even money, this team total held up on a day Arizona State managed 279 total yards. Its scoring floor has been steady all year.

ALT: Over 38.5 total points (-400 at FanDuel): CASHED - Our read: These teams' recent games had gone over 38.5 in 17 of 20 combined and 12 of 14 this season. - What happened: The teams combined for 47 points, 8.5 over. Two short fields after fumbles turned into touchdowns, and two Dunn field goals helped push it past the number in a game with modest yardage on both sides. - Worth watching: Turnovers padded the total here. A low alt total gives cushion when field position swings like this.
