Arizona State vs Arizona Betting Prediction
Arizona rolls into this game on a five game winning streak and they are scoring over 90 points per game this season. The Wildcats are ranked #5 in the country and they just picked up two huge road wins against Utah and Colorado. Arizona State is on a two game winning streak, but they have struggled in conference play. The Sun Devils are only shooting 42.3% from the field and are not a very good rebounding team. I know this is a big spread, but Arizona is the much better team and they are at home. Take the Wildcats here.
