Arizona State vs BYU Prediction
Arizona State isn’t winning games, doesn’t defend, and has covered just four of its last 10 games. BYU has scored 80 or more points in three straight games, so the Cougars should be drooling about this matchup. Also, BYU beat Arizona State by 20 points on New Year’s Eve. BYU is also 7-2-1 ATS in its last 10 games, which includes covers in four straight games. The line is reasonable, and BYU has four road wins this season. I have no choice but to side with BYU on the road.
