Bet on Arizona State vs. Stanford
Arizona State has won four straight meetings with Stanford and the Sun Devils are 5-0-1 against the spread in the last six in this series. While ASU has success in this series, I don’t like how the Sun Devils have looked in conference play. Every game has been razor thin and they have been favored in their last four and yet to win at the betting window. Stanford has played well at home in recent outings, winning as dogs against USC and UCLA. I will take my chances with Stanford getting points at home tonight. The public betting is nearly split but I like Stanford to cover.
