From a defensive standpoint, Arizona State has three interceptions and 12 sacks. They are allowing 23.80 points per game.

Prediction

Utah may be ranked, but the Sun Devils are starting to establish themselves as legitimate contenders in the Big 12. Since the injury to quarterback Cam Rising, Utah's offense has been much less effective, averaging only 23.3 points per game and 16.0 points per game in two conference games.

Arizona State, on the other hand, has an offense that can score points quickly and their defense has done a better job of forcing turnovers. Because of that, backing the Sun Devils to keep this game close and cover the spread will be our best bet as Utah's offense has not shown the same effectiveness under Isaac Wilson.

Final Pick

Arizona State Sun Devils +6.5 (-108)
