Arizona State looked good in their recent outings and they’ve been consistent on offense and defense, albeit with a limited passing game. Nonetheless, they enter the game as favorites. Meanwhile, the Cougars have been a bit shaky in the last two games and have to be more confident on the ball. They have the physicality to match the Sun Devils but need to be more aggressive overall. Covering the spread should be doable for the team while maintaining fair winning chances.
