Arizona State Sun Devils vs. Arizona Wildcats Prediction

I’m on the over here. Both of these teams play at such a fast pace, and Arizona is more than capable of dropping the century mark on any given opponent, especially at home. I’m just not looking to lay this many points in a rivalry game, so give me the over as the alternative here.
