College Football Betting Trends
Utah
The over is 4-0 in the last four Utes games after accumulating 170 or less passing yards the previous game. The under is 5-1 in the last six Utah games following a straight up win.
Arizona State
The over is 4-1 in the last five Sun Devils games in November. The under is 4-1 in the last five Arizona State games versus a team with a winning record.
Prediction:
As good as the Utah offense is, it also has a defense capable of getting consistent stops. I expect both teams will be able to run the ball fairly well, but that keeps the clock moving and shortens the number of total possessions. The Sun Devils haven’t scored more than 21 points in their last two home games and I expect there will be more struggles to put points on the board today. Go with the under.
PREDICTION: UTAH/ARIZONA STATE UNDER 54.5
