BYU vs. Arizona State Prediction:
Take the Sun Devils to cover the 3.5 points on Saturday. The Cougars seem to be trending in the wrong direction. They barely escaped against Utah, hitting a game winning field goal after some help from the refs kept them alive. Then they lost at home against Kansas. The offense put up their two lowest scoring performances since week two and now take on a solid Sun Devils defense that allows just 3.8 yards per carry. Arizona State on the other hand has all the momentum after going to Manhattan and getting their second win over a ranked opponent this season. They now head home where they are a perfect 5-0 ATS this season. BYU’s defense is ranked 4th in takeaways per game but the Sun Devils rank 8th turning the ball over just .7 times per game.
BYU vs. Arizona State Prediction: Arizona State -3.5
