Arizona State vs. Texas State picks and predictions
Prediction
Texas State 31, Arizona State 24
Moneyline
The early cash is coming in on the home side with 57% of it going toward Texas State’s ML. They went 8-5 in 2023, but they were 5-1 at home. So follow the money here and take TEXAS STATE -110.
Against the spread
There’s no point in taking the spread here at such a miniscule number.
PASS.
Over/Under
Money came pouring in on the Over so much that the total increased from 59.5 to 60.5 Wednesday evening. The problem is ASU runs the ball A LOT. That’s going to bleed the clock and attempt to keep the high-powered Texas State offense on ice. Neither of ASU’s games has touched this number.
LEAN UNDER 60.5 (-110).
