PASS.

There is no value on Florida (-300), who is undefeated, to win Saturday.

Against the spread

LEAN ARIZONA STATE +7.5 (-120).

The Sun Devils have covered in 7 of their last 8 games including each of their last 5 as underdogs. On a neutral floor, Florida loses the advantage it would have had in this matchup. The Gators are 6-3 against the spread (ATS) this season.

Alex’s best bet: Big 12 Championship Game – Arizona State vs. Iowa State prediction

SportsbookWire.com’s Alex White likes a side in Saturday’s college football game between Arizona State and Iowa State.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Are you ready for conference championship Saturday? Alex White sure is.

Alex’s best bet Saturday involves the Big 12 Championship Game pitting the 13th-ranked Arizona State Sun Devils against the No. 16 Iowa State Cyclones. Kickoff from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, is set for noon ET and will be televised on ABC.

Both teams finished 10-2 overall and 7-2 in conference. While this is ASU’s first season in the Big 12, it’s a bit surprising that these programs have never met on a football field before.

Well, this first meeting is somewhat of a big one. The winner will claim the conference’s automatic berth into the first College Football 12-team playoff.

As of Friday at 11:50 p.m. ET, BetMGM Sportsbook lists Arizona State as a 1.5-point favorite.

Arizona State enters on a 5-game win streak, covering the spread in each win. For the season, the Sun Devils are 10-2 against the spread (ATS).

Iowa State is on a 3-0 straight-up run but just 2-1 ATS in those victories. Overall, the Cyclones are 7-5 ATS this season but 2-4 ATS in their last 6 contests.

Listen below to why Alex likes a side in this one as her best bet.

Big 12 Championship Game: Arizona State vs. Iowa State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Arizona State vs. Iowa State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Big 12 Conference Championship Game will see the No. 13 Arizona State Sun Devils (10-2, 7-2 Big 12) face the No. 16 Iowa State Cyclones (10-2, 7-2) on Saturday. Kickoff from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, is scheduled for noon ET (ABC). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Arizona State vs. Iowa State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The top two Big 12 teams in the Coaches Poll (US LBM Coaches Poll) won their Week 14 games to clinch a berth in the Texas showdown. Crazily, they have never played each other in college football history.

Arizona State thumped in-state rivals Arizona 49-7 on Saturday, locking in a 5-game win streak heading into the conference title game. Coach Kenny Dillingham has taken this club from 3-9 in his first season to the surprise juggernaut in his second year.

ASU will lean heavily on Heisman Trophy also-ran RB Cam Skattebo, who ranks eighth in the nation with 1,398 rushing yards (5.7 yards per carry) and has scored 19 TDs (17 rushing).

Unfortunately, the Sun Devils will have to go without leading receiver Jordyn Tyson (1,101 yards, 10 TDs) for the rest of the season after undergoing surgery on either his shoulder or collarbone, depending on reports.

The Cyclones, meanwhile, notched their first 10-win season in school history. They survived the Kansas State Wildcats 29-23 last weekend and benefitted from BYU’s win over Houston to qualify for this game.

Which surprising state school will win the Big 12 and punch a ticket to the CFP?

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Arizona State vs. Iowa State picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona State 27, Iowa State 24

Moneyline

ASU’s run game will prove to be the difference in what should be a back-and-forth affair. Skattebo should move the chains and allow the Sun Devils to control the pace for most of the game.

In this likely coin-flip game, Arizona State (-125) might be the top end of this line. Locking in this price is fine, but given the other more profitable ways to wager on this game, waiting for more action to come in and impact the ISU side might be the way to go.

Bettors should ignore unless and until they find ASU juice closer to +100 pregame or live. PASS.

Against the spread

This showdown projects to have too close a margin of victory to grow too excited picking either side of a 2-point spread.

Bettors should instead investigate alternate lines.

FanDuel Sportsbook lists Iowa State +3.5 (-148). This forces us to pay for the juice, sure, but nabbing that extra 1.5 points adds security.

Keep an eye out as betting options ATS expand at BetMGM and FanDuel to check whether the market improves to give ISU more than a field-goal window.

BET IOWA STATE +3.5 (-148) OR BETTER.

Over/Under

The impact that the absence of ASU’s Tyson will have on the total’s upside will be mitigated by Skattebo and ISU’s dynamic receiving pair Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel — the nation’s only pair of 1,000+ receiving yardage compilers for the same school.

Points will pile up in the second half as the game loosens up and a CFP berth grows within reach.

BET OVER 49.5 (-110).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The No. 15 Arizona State Sun Devils (9-2, 6-2  Big 12) face the Arizona Wildcats (4-7, 2-6) Saturday in the battle for the Territorial Cup. Kickoff from Arizona Stadium is at 3:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at Arizona State vs. Arizona odds from BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Sun Devils notched their fourth consecutive overall win and second straight victory over a ranked opponent, defeating No. 20 BYU 28-23 Nov. 23. Arizona State covered as a 3.5-point home favorite, powered by a standout performance from RB Cam Skattebo, who carried the ball 28 times for 147 yards and 3 TDs. QB Sam Leavitt delivered 247 passing yards, with WR Jordyn Tyson accounting for 125 of those in a dynamic aerial showing.

The Wildcats dropped their sixth game in 7 outings, losing 49-28 at TCU Nov. 23. Arizona couldn’t cover as a 10.5-point underdog, with the Over (60) hitting comfortably. The defense gave up 450 total yards, including 303 through the air. QB Noah Fifita passed for 284 yards with 2 TDs, both caught by WR Chris Hunter. WR Tetairoa McMillan stood out with 9 catches for 115 yards, despite the team’s struggles on both sides of the ball.

Prediction

Arizona State 31, Arizona 13

Moneyline

PASS.

Arizona State (-300) is in the College Football Playoff hunt but must avoid a slip-up against rival Arizona. With the moneyline at 1-to-3, it’s not worth the risk — I’ll place my wager on the spread instead.

Against the spread

BET ARIZONA STATE -8.5 (-105).

The Sun Devils are riding high, posting an impressive 8-2 straight up and ATS record in their last 10 games. Facing rival Arizona, the Sun Devils have everything to lose as they chase a potential College Football Playoff berth.

Arizona, despite a poor season, will look to disrupt Arizona State’s momentum, but the odds are stacked against it. Arizona State has won its last 8 games as a favorite and covered the spread in 6 straight while laying points.

The Sun Devils are ranked 16th nationally but could vault into playoff contention with 2 more wins, starting with this rivalry. Arizona’s struggling defense, especially against the run, will have a tough time containing Skattebo, who has surpassed 1,200 rushing yards this season.

Arizona lacks the offensive firepower to keep pace, and with everything on the line, expect Arizona State to stay focused and take care of business.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 53.5 (-110).

While trends point towards the Over, with the last 4 meetings going Over and both teams hitting the Over in 3 of their last 4 games, Arizona’s offense has been lackluster all season. Coach Brent Brennan expressed disappointment after its loss to TCU, showing the team’s struggles.

Arizona State’s games have averaged 53.4 points, with a 6-5 O/U record. The Sun Devils are 7-2 to the Under following a home win and 11-4 to the Under after playing on the road, suggesting a lower-scoring affair is more likely.

BYU at Arizona State picks and predictions

Prediction

Moneyline

The Sun Devils are unbeaten at home this season and have averaged 32.3 point in their conference home games.

BYU is 3-0 in conference road games, but only 1 was against a team with a winning record in Big 12 play.

The Sun Devils average 190.5 rushing yards per game, led by RB Cam Skattebo and QB Sam Leavitt is playing very well, having thrown 3 TDs passes in each of the last 3 games with no interceptions.

There are high stakes for this game, as the winner has an inside track to play in the conference championship.

The Devils have been too good at home. Expect the home team to win but you get better odds on the spread.

PASS.

Against the spread

Arizona State has covered the spread in every win this season. Every home win has been by at least 4 points.

BET ARIZONA STATE -3 (-110).

Over/Under

The Over is 5-1 in BYU’s last 6 games.

The Over is 3-1-1 in ASU’s 5 home games. The Sun Devils have scored at least 30 in 4 of 5 home games.

The Arizona State Sun Devils (7-2, 4-2 Big 12) visit the No. 19 Kansas State Wildcats (7-2, 4-2) on Saturday. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. ET at Bill Snyder Family Stadium (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around the Arizona State vs. Kansas State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Sun Devils have won 2 straight games and expect to have RB Cam Skattebo back in the lineup after missing last week’s 35-31 home win over the UCF Knights in which freshman QB Sam Leavitt threw 3 TD passes. They were 2.5-point home favorites and the Over (55.5) cashed.

Arizona State at Kansas State picks and predictions

Prediction

Kansas State 27, Arizona State 20

Moneyline

ASU’s only losses this season have been in conference road games, where they are 1-2. K-State is undefeated (4-0) at home and has the ninth-best rushing defense in the nation, allowing only 99.4 rushing yards per game on 3.1 yards per attempt.

Running the ball is ASU’s strength with Skattebo. The Sun Devils average 199 rushing yards per game on 4.7 yards per attempt. Skattebo has 1,001 rushing yards and 1,405 total yards from scrimmage with 13 TDs. If Kansas State slows him, the Sun Devil offense will sputter.

Expect Kansas State to pick up the win, but -300 odds do not have a good enough payout to bet the ML.

PASS.

Against the spread

The only 2 games in which Arizona State has failed to cover the spread were their 2 road losses, being defeated by 10 points by the Cincinnati Bearcats and 8 by the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

The Wildcats are 3-6 ATS on the season. Their last home win was by 2 points.

BET ARIZONA STATE +7.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The only 2 games with the Under cashing in for the Sun Devils in conference play have been their 2 road losses. They averaged 18 points in those games.

Kansas State’s last 2 games have stayed Under the projected total. The Over has hit in 4 of their 7 wins and in 3 of their 4 conference wins.

Grand Canyon vs. Arizona State picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona State 79, Grand Canyon 75

Moneyline

ARIZONA STATE (+168) is a solid play as a moderate underdog in this neutral-site battle in Phoenix.

The Sun Devils looked awfully tough against the Zags, and freshman F Jayden Quaintance is a budding star on the rise, especially at the defensive end. He had 13 boards against Santa Clara on Nov. 8, and he has posted 2 or more blocked shots in all 3 games, including 10 in the first 2 contests.

Against the spread

If you’re not sure about ARIZONA STATE +5.5 (-120) straight up, it is a good play to keep it within 3 buckets at least.

The Sun Devils have played well in 2 games against the top-tier programs of the West Coast Conference, and it won’t be fazed against Grand Canyon -5.5 (-105). It’s a rather curious line from the books. Take advantage.

Over/Under

OVER 149.5 (-110) is a strong play in this Hall of Fame series game.

The Over has cashed in the past 2 games for ASU, going for 80.5 PPG on offense, while allowing 81.0 PPG.

For Grand Canyon, the Antelopes are filling up the basket to the tune of 81.5 PPG in 2 outings, while allowing 75.5 PPG. This might not be a track meet, but it certainly won’t be a defensive slog, either.

Arizona State at Gonzaga picks and predictions

Prediction

Gonzaga 89, Arizona State 65

Moneyline

PASS.

You should obviously avoid betting Gonzaga (-4500) because the odds are outrageous. Look at the spread or total if you want to make a bet.

Against the spread

BET GONZAGA -19.5 (-114).

Gonzaga is one of the country’s top teams and looks primed for another win Sunday. Known for their experience and strong home record, the Bulldogs made a big statement in their season opener. Meanwhile, Arizona State has struggled, narrowly beating Idaho State and Santa Clara with inconsistent play. Expect Gonzaga to improve to 2-0 and cover comfortably at home.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 158.5 (-110).

Covering this large total early in the season is challenging as teams settle into their offensive rhythm. Gonzaga’s opener went Over due to their 101 points, with Baylor adding points late in garbage time. Arizona State only scored 55 against Idaho State (whom they held under 50) and should have trouble putting up points against Gonzaga’s defense. Gonzaga will likely take an early lead and score well, but stay under 100. The Under seems the safer bet here.

Idaho State at Arizona State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Idaho State at Arizona State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Idaho State Bengals and the Arizona State Sun Devils meet at Desert Financial Arena Tuesday in the regular-season opener for both teams. Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Idaho State vs. Arizona State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

The Bengals are projected to be among the worst teams in the Big Sky Conference, which is an ominous sign heading into this road game against the Sun Devils.

Arizona State, led by coach Bobby Hurley, had a monster recruiting class, so we’ll see how things come together. Jayden Quaintance is a tremendous center and former 5-star transfer from Kentucky. BJ Freeman and Alston Mason are also key additions, and if they jell sooner rather than later, Sparky could get off to a hot start.

Idaho State at Arizona State picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona State 85, Idaho State 59

Moneyline

Arizona State (-4500) will cost you 45 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward. Betting such heavy favorites like this is foolish, and a terrible long-term betting strategy.

AVOID.

Against the spread

ARIZONA STATE -19.5 (-115) is an excellent play in the desert, as the Sun Devils look to fire off to a hot start against the smallish Idaho State +19.5 (-105) which is expected to finish in the bottom third of the Big Sky.

The Bengals are going to have a size problem, and you can expect Quaintance to have his way at home in this opener. Expect him to go for a double-double, as Idaho State will have very few answers.

Over/Under

OVER 140.5 (-106) is the lean in the opener, but only go with a half-unit play at best.

The Sun Devils should do most of the heavy lifting to get this one across the finish line for an Over, and it’s hard to believe this line is so low. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Arizona State go for close to 90 points, as it meets very little resistance.

Utah at Arizona State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Utah at Arizona State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Utah Utes (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) tangle with the Arizona State Sun Devils (4-1, 1-1) in a Friday night conference battle between 4-win teams. Kickoff from Mountain America Stadium in Tempe will be at 10:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college football odds around Utah vs. Arizona State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Utah, which is No. 17 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, is coming off a bye. In their last game on Sept. 28, the Utes were upset 23-10 by the unranked Arizona Wildcats. Utah was a 7.5-point home favorite in that contest.

Arizona State bounced back from its lone loss with a 35-31 home victory last Saturday as a 2.5-point favorite vs. the Kansas Jayhawks. QB Sam Leavitt (157 passing yards) threw 4 TDs, including a game-winning 3-yard pass to WR Jordyn Tyson with 16 seconds left. That last score marked the 5th lead change in the 4th quarter.

Utah at Arizona State picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah 23, Arizona State 13

Moneyline

No interest. PASS.

Against the spread

Utah has won 4 in a row straight up and ATS against ASU. As a road dog, the Sun Devils are 1-3-1 ATS over their last 5 games when getting 4 points or less.

The big test for the Utes will be playing without QB Cam Rising, who is out with a hand injury. Backup QB Isaac Wilson has thrown 7 picks in his stead, so look for Utah to emphasize the run on offense in this game. The Utes will be up against a Sun Devils defense yielding just 3.0 yards per carry.

But Arizona’s defense pops in surface stats to a much greater degree than it does in defensive analytics. Utah can win battles in the trenches and should be able to stay on schedule against the ASU defense.

And a Sun Devils offense propped up by some shaky defensive foes so far will really be tested against a strong UU defense allowing just 280.2 yards per game.

Expect Utah to come off the bye week with enough on offense and a lot on defense.

BET UTAH -5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

The Under is 6-1 across Utah’s last 7 games. The last 3 times the Under cashed in Utah contests, it did so by double-digit margins.

The Utes may be prone to some explosive plays in this particular matchup, but their ability to win at the line, cause havoc, and keep ASU off schedule figures to loom large.

Neither side has fared well in punching in red-zone TDs. And the game flow here may well call for slower pace-of-play figures than what both teams have logged so far.

The UNDER 46.5 (-110) is the value play.
