Arizona State
The Sun Devils are 2-4 ATS in the last six meetings. Arizona State is 1-5 straight up in the last six meetings.
Prediction:
The Ducks lost 78-64 last season at Arizona State and the hosts are around the same talent level this season, so with the way Oregon has played on the road lately it makes me want to side with the Sun Devils. Arizona State has been playing with a lot of confidence as of late and while it plays at a very fast tempo, the bread and butter for the hosts is the defense. Getting a key stop or two down the stretch might be the difference. I’m betting ASU has it in the tank to get it done.
