Iowa State vs Arizona State Prediction
Arizona State has shown more against better competition this season, while Iowa State looks like a team that’s falling apart. However, Arizona State still has issues finishing drives offensively and has scored 16 or fewer points in 2 of their last 3 games. Iowa State is also probably better than what it’s shown up to this point, and it’s still an average or above average team on both sides of the ball.
Still, I’m not laying a touchdown with a team that’s lost 3 straight games. Arizona State is 9-5 ATS in its last 14 games as a road underdog. Iowa State is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 home games as a favorite. I’ll take a shot with the free touchdown and the Sun Devils.
