Arizona State is 4-1 against the spread following a game that they didn’t cover the spread, 7-3 against the spread in their last 10 home games against a team with a winning road record, and 3-7 against the spread at home against a team with a road winning percentage over .600. The favorite has covered the point spread in four of the last five meetings of these two.
ASU has come up big in spots but taking the Sun Devils here would be hoping it was going to be one of those spots and then hoping that is good enough against one of the best in the nation and that is jst too many question marks.
Arizona Wildcats -8.5
