Arizona State vs Colorado Prediction
I know Colorado isn’t a good football team, but I’m wondering what the hell Arizona State has done to be this big of a favorite. A hook on top of a key number. I’m not buying it. Arizona State is subpar offensively and horrible defensively, which includes being 109th in scoring defense. We saw Baylor and DJ Lagway go into Tempe a month ago and get whatever they wanted.
Colorado is coming off its bestshowing of the sason in a win over Kansas State and amybe thats the turnng point. The Buffaloes can still sneak into a bowl appearance with a few more wins. As bad as Colorado is, I’m not laying points with Arizona State just because. Give me the Buffaloes and the points on Saturday.
