The current betting odds have Utah listed as a 15.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Utah has looked really good in their last 2 games with big wins over Southern Utah and SDSU. they did lose their 1st game against Florida but that was a very close loss that they could have won if a few calls went their way. They still have a lot to prove in this road game though and they will need a good showing in this conference game with USC, Oregon, Oregon State, and a lot of other PAC-12 teams looking like contenders for the title now. ASU just lost their last game at home to a bad EMU team and that loss even prompted the firing of their head coach Herm Edwards. ASU is already having a really bad start to the year and the firing of the coach will only put them in an even tougher position for the rest of the year. Utah had some great defense against SDSU and their offense started to roll after the 1st quarter. They will be able to get going later in the game here and their defense will keep ASU from scoring too many points. The best way to place a bet here is on Utah to cover the spread in this game.
