Arizona State vs. Arizona Prediction
I’m on the Sun Devils here. I know it’s basically a win and you’re in for Arizona State as far as the Big 12 title game goes, but I really do think that the Sun Devils want to kick a rival when they’re down and deal an added blow to Arizona in what’s been a down year compared to last year. Kenny Dillingham has the Sun Devils firing on all cylinders right now and I don’t think ASU wants to leave anything to chance. Give me the Sun Devils here.
Chris’s Pick Arizona State -8.5
