Arizona State vs Utah Prediction
I’m on Arizona State here. The Utes have a solid defense but the QB play just hasn’t been up to par to keep Utah in games. Arizona State’s defense I would argue is on the level of Utah’s up to this point, and the Sun Devils can go shot for shot with Utah to at least keep this game close if not give themselves a shot to win it outright. Give me Arizona State and the points.
