Arizona State came out of the gate strong this year with a 5-1 run, taking out Southern Utah, UNLV, Colorado, UCLA and Stanford in that stretch. The Sun Devils then lost to Utah and Washington State before a 31-16 win over USC on November 6. 

Last weekend versus Washington, the Sun Devils scored 21 points in the fourth quarter (after a 17-7 halftime deficit) on the way to a 35-30 win. QB Jayden Daniels finished with 90 yards, one TD and one pick. Rachaad White led the rush with 184 yards and two scores off 32 totes. 

Over on the Oregon State side, they lost their opener this year to Purdue but then rattled off four straight wins over Hawaii, Idaho, USC and Washington. The Beavers went 1-3 in their next four games, losing to Washington State, California and Colorado in that time. 

In the game versus Stanford, the Beavers scored in every quarter and turned a 14-0 halftime lead into a 35-14 victory. QB Chance Nolan put up 257 yards with two TDs, and BJ Baylor topped the rush on 80 yards and a TD from 23 carries. 

The Sun Devils are 1-4 ATS in their last five on turf and the over is 4-0 in their last four on turf. The over is 5-1 in AZ State’s last six road games. 

Meanwhile, the Beavers are 5-0 ATS versus a team with a winning record and 5-0 ATS in their last five at home. Oregon State is 19-9 ATS in their last 28 overall. 

PICK: I’m probably sticking with Oregon State. The Beavers did a nice job on offense in their last game, with 475 total yards, 6.3 yards per play, 29 first downs and a solid 12-of-18 on third- and fourth-down tries. Oregon State forced three turnovers and held the ball for 36:47. 

As for Arizona State, they got into some trouble in the first half versus Washington but righted the ship in the second half during the win. The Devils played something of a sloppy game with nine penalties and two turnovers. I like a better performance here but I think Oregon State makes more sense on a cover.
