The Arizona State Sun Devils and Oregon Ducks face off on Sunday in a Pac-12 college basketball showdown at Matthew Knight Arena. When these two teams faced off in March it was Oregon that won 91-73. This is a big early season Pac-12 matchup between two teams who have plenty of question marks. 

The Arizona State Sun Devils come into this game with a 2-6 record overall and they have gone only 1-6-1 against the spread. In the last game against Washington State, Arizona State only 29 points and that led to the blowout loss. The Sun Devils are averaging 63.9 points while their defense is giving up 68.6 points per game. This is an offense that isn’t as strong as years past, but if they want any chance in this game they need to get more production on that side of the ball. DJ Horne has been the best player for Arizona State averaging 11.9 points while shooting 46.5 percent from the field. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Oregon Ducks who sit with a 5-3 record and they have gone 2-6 against the spread. In the last game against UC Riverside, they struggled and only managed to win by six points. Oregon is averaging 68.5 points while their defense is giving up 63.9 points per game. Eric Williams Jr has been the top player for Oregon averaging 11.6 points while shooting 47.9 percent from the field. Will Richardson is also averaging 11.4 points while shooting 48.6 percent from the field. 

Oregon is 9-1 against the spread in their last 10 games played on Sunday. Arizona State is 0-4 against the spread in their last four games played on Sunday. The over is 5-0 in Oregon’s last five games played on Sunday. The under is 5-1 in Arizona State’s last 6 games following an against the spread loss.

Arizona State’s offense is an issue and it’s not going to magically find more success in this game. I also don’t believe Oregon is going to run up the score either, and that will lead to this game staying under the total. Back the under to cash.

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
