ARIZONA vs ARIZONA STATE PREDICTION
The Wildcats handled the Sun Devils on their home floor but this line it’s indicating that this will be a closer game considering Arizona is winless on true road games. Last season the Sun Devils had an epic 2nd-half 20+ point comeback win from behind in this matchup as well which are the reasons why this line is low. Arizona is by far the better team, they have had a week to prepare for this game and will finally get their first true road win of the season to cover this spread.
