The Arizona State Sun Devils haven’t been able to get out of their own way this season, the defensive effort is starting to slip and they’re not covering numbers, an issue that dates back to last season. The Arizona Wildcats are starting to heat up offensively, and they just beat Arizona State a few days ago despite not putting much effort into their defense. This time at home, Arizona State should win a little more comfortably. I’ll lay the chalk.
