TCU vs Arizona State Prediction
Arizona State has lost eight of its last 10 games, so the fact the Sun Devils are laying nearly five points tells you what oddsmakers think of TCU. The Horned Frogs have lost six of their seven road games, and they’re a horrible 8-16 ATS on the season. TCU has moments where it can’t find easy offense, and it’s scored less than 70 points in seven of its last nine games. Arizona State probably still has no business laying points in its current form, but this line smells fishy. So, if forced to pick, I’m going to pinch my nose and side with the Sun Devils. Whatever oddsmakers know, I want to be on that side as well.
