Texas Tech vs Arizona State Prediction
We’re going to find out a lot about Arizona State, a team that hasn’t played anybody up to this point. Texas Tech should also see some holes in a Sun Devils secondary that’s been hit or miss through 3 games. However, that Texas Tech defense has been awful, and that includes allowing 51 points against Abilene Christian. The Texas Tech Red Raiders are 123rd in total defense and 122nd in scoring defense. Not ideal when going up against an explosive Arizona State offense.
The Arizona State Sun Devils are 6-3-1 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog, and that includes an outright win this year over Texas State. I’ll take a stab with the points and the Sun Devils, as this has a chance to be a high-scoring game where points are important.
