Jayden Daniels has thrown for 572 yards, 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions on 72.9% passing while Rachaad White has a team-high 219 rushing yards and 5 touchdowns.

Colorado is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 conference games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 September games. Arizona State is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games against a team with a losing record while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a win.

I get the case that could be made for either side here, as Colorado was just stomped out by Minnesota, while Arizona State hasn’t been able to cover the number this season. It’s a low total, but I’m still going to side with the under here. I expect a lot of running the ball and for this to be a game that’s played between the 20s for a lot of it. I think Arizona State wins, but the line feels tight. Give me the under.
