Colorado at Arizona State picks and predictions
Prediction
Colorado 45, Arizona State 28
Moneyline
The Sun Devils have not been good but have at least been competitive in their last 2 losses, including hanging with USC, which beat Colorado last week. However, that was still a 14-point ASU loss.
After starting the season 3-0, Colorado has struggled on defense, allowing 90 points in the last 2 games. But Arizona State cannot produce offensively the way Oregon and USC did.
Colorado at -190 isn’t worth the price. Look at the spread for a better pick.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Sun Devils covered the spread in each of the last 2 weeks, but had double-digit spreads.
Colorado’s offense will be hard for the Devils to keep up with. The Buffaloes have scored 36 or more points in 4 games and 41 or more 3 times.
Arizona State’s best offensive performance has been 28 points.
BET COLORADO -4.5 (-105).
Over/Under
In 3 of Colorado’s games, the total has been 78 or higher. The other 2 games, it didn’t get past 50. Arizona State’s only game to reach 60 points was against USC.
Expect this game to look similar to ASU’s loss to USC. Colorado will be able to move the ball with ease, but Colorado will give up points.
BET OVER 59.5 (-115).
