Arizona State vs Washington Prediction

The current betting odds have Washington listed as a 26.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Washington has looked really good this season with their 6-0 record overall and they are now 3-0 in conference play after winning last week against a really good Oregon team. That was one of their hardest games of the season and they won it at home but now they are going to be focused on running up some scores against these weaker teams as they look to climb into the top 4 of the rankings and possibly a playoff spot this season. Arizona State has looked terrible with their 1-5 record overall and they have lost all 3 of their games in the Pac-12 too. They are the worst team in the Pac-12 this season and are even dealing with injuries to their QB's too. Arizona State isn't going to be able to put up a lot of points on Washington on the road and they don't have the defense either to stop this red hot Washington offense that is one of the best in the country. The best way to place a bet here is on Washington to cover the spread in this game. 

Arizona State Washington Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, October 21, 2023 (10:30 pm ET start time) is Washington 52 ASU 17.
