Iowa State vs. Arizona State Prediction
I’m on the under here. Two of the best scoring defenses in the Big 12 going at it here, and it’s hard to see anything other than both defensive units stepping up to the plate here. These are two teams that can grind it out and you’re not going to get any flashy, razzle dazzle football here. Just hard-nosed football decided in the trenches. Give me the under here.
