Who We Like: I am not sure Arizona State deserves this spot. The Sun Devils looked strong in non-conference play and then were a disaster in the Pac-12. They have lost five of their last six and they are just 4-13-1 against the spread in 2018. Syracuse has its own flaws, but the Orange have still showed the ability to play well against good teams recently. The Pac-12 doesn’t have the same competition that the ACC does, so Syracuse should be better prepared for tonight. I like the Orange’s defense to keep ASU in check and lead it to a win.
