Why Arizona State can cover
Arizona State has lost four straight games, but it has put together quality performances its last two times out. The Sun Devils were 34.5-point underdogs against No. 5 USC two weeks ago, but they trailed by just one touchdown with eight minutes remaining and easily covered the spread. They were 13-point underdogs in a 24-21 loss to Cal last week, pushing the Golden Bears to the brink.
Junior quarterback Trenton Bourguet completed 26 of 41 passes for 344 yards while rushing for a touchdown. The Sun Devils converted just 2 of 15 attempts on third down in that game, making the final score even more impressive. They have covered the spread in six of their last seven home games against Colorado, which has now lost eight straight Pac-12 games.
Why Colorado can cover
Colorado is coming off consecutive losses to Oregon and USC, but it opened the season with three straight wins and will be taking a step down in competition this weekend. The Buffaloes cruised to a blowout win over Nebraska while notching victories over then-No. 17 TCU and Colorado State before losing to a pair of top-10 teams. Despite their loss to USC, they were able to generate some momentum by scoring the final 20 points of the game.
Junior quarterback Shedeur Sanders has thrown for 1,781 yards and 15 touchdowns, going over 340 passing yards in four of his five outings. He added 50 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown against USC, so he will be difficult for Arizona State to slow down. The Sun Devils have lost eight of their last nine games, including six straight against Pac-12 opponents. See which team to pick here.
