The current betting odds have Arizona State listed as a 4 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. This is going to be the 1st game of the conference schedule for both of these teams and with both only having played a few games before diving right in, this is going to be a very hard fought game by both sides which will likely be very close all night. Arizona State has looked very good in their games though, their only loss came on the road this year, but they have also been crushing a lot of good teams in their games by double digits. Colorado really hasn't been that good this season, they had 1 big win over the ranked Tennessee early on in the season but since then, they have not been great with some close wins and some bad losses in their games as of late. This is the earliest these teams have had to start their conference schedules before so both teams are going to keep this a close game not wanting to lose their 1st conference game so early. Arizona State only has the 1 loss though and they have been getting hot in their last few games too, they could end up pulling off the upset here in what will be a close game. The best way to place a bet here is on Arizona State to cover the spread in this game.
