[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.
