Colorado Buffaloes vs. Arizona State Sun Devils Prediction
In my view, this matchup favors the Arizona State Sun Devils. Why? While neither team has lived up to expectations this season, Arizona State enters the contest with the more balanced offense and the advantage of playing at home. The Sun Devils are averaging 29.5 points per game compared to just 21 points per contest for Colorado.Arizona State quarterback Cutter Boley has thrown for 1,360 yards and 13 touchdowns this season, while wide receiver Reed Harris has emerged as one of the team’s top playmakers compiling 804 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns.
Colorado is coming off an emotional overtime win against Kansas State, but I trust Arizona State’s offense and home field advantage more in this matchup. With that said, I am backing the Arizona State Sun Devils on the moneyline in this game.
