Arizona State vs Arizona Prediction
The current betting odds have Arizona State listed as a 9 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Arizona State has looked really good in their games this season with their 9-2 record overall and their 6-2 conference record which has them right near the top of the Big 12. They are coming off a huge win against BYU in their last one so they are going to have a ton of momentum from that win, and they will bring their best effort here since they are still trying to make the Big 12 Championship and the CFP. Meanwhile, Arizona has looked terrible in their games this season with their 4-7 record overall and their 2-6 conference record which has them right near the bottom of the Big 12. They had high hopes coming into the season after last year, but this is not the same head coach nor is it even the same team as last season and it has shown in their performances. They haven't even looked great in their home games with their 3-3 home record, and they are coming off a 49-28 loss to TCU in their last one. That loss made it so they can't even become bowl eligible too so this Arizona team really has nothing to play for here except spoiler. Arizona State has been rolling in their games lately though and now their RB is healthy who is easily one of the best backs in the nation. Arizona State still has lots to play for and they aren't going to take their foot off the gas in this one. The best way to place a bet here is on Arizona State to cover the spread in this game.
