Utah vs Arizona State Prediction
The Arizona State Sun Devils have played decent ball on both sides of the ball up to this point, but their schedule hasn't been difficult, and I don't trust them against good teams. The Utah Utes remain strong defensively, and there's a chance Cam Rising returns at quarterback. If that's the case, Utah should win and cover. Arizona State is also 3-7-1 ATS in its last 11 games as a home underdog. I trust Utah's defense and coaching staff. Of course, check the status of Rising before locking in anything. Still, give me Utah by a touchdown.
Randy’s Pick Utah Utes -6.5
