Utah -8

I see it probably ending up at somewhere in the -5 range, +/- 1 at game time. That makes sense; a tad more than the traditional 3 point home field advantage. Remember, this is betting money. Who do you like more; a team with a stout run D, a stout run attack, and a mobile QB who is not a great passer and whose team regularly gets stupid penalties due to lack of focus; or a team that appears to have an average at best run D but did a good job in containing two good mobile QB's, and who UCLA never stopped until they went into full on panic mode? Both teams have good kickers. WSU had massive kick coverage failures, but there is a good chance that won't repeat. All in all, I think a neutral better would give Utah the edge, but probably not a full TD.
