Oregon State vs Arizona State Prediction

The current betting odds have ASU listed as a 7.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. ASU has not had a very good season as it has been filled with lots of losses, a fired head coach, and now even a QB competition to decide who the starter should be. Despite everything going on in their program this year, they actually haven't been that bad in their games under their interim head coach and they have been putting up a fight in every game as they continue to score points and keep games close at least. Oregon State has been a very good team this season but they have also had their own issues to deal with like the injury to their starting QB which has left him out the last few games. They have been getting by in games with their backup QB and he is starting to get into a rhythm with this team but their offense still isn't as good as it was with the starter and they have struggled in their road games all year even with their starting QB. Oregon State is going to struggle with this feisty ASU team and they could even lose this game on the road. The best way to place a bet here is on Arizona State to cover the spread in this game.
