Why Arizona State can cover
Colorado was seemingly on its way to a second straight blowout loss last week, but USC let off the gas and made the final score much closer than it was earlier in the game. The Buffaloes failed to cover the spread in their previous two games, suggesting that the betting market has made an appropriate adjustment following their hot start. Meanwhile, Arizona State has covered the spread in back-to-back games, playing close contests as a double-digit underdog against USC and California.
The Sun Devils were 13-point underdogs in their 24-21 loss to the Golden Bears last week, as their comeback effort came up just short. Junior quarterback Trenton Bourguet completed 26 of 41 passes for 344 yards in his first start of the season, and he is expected to get another opportunity this weekend. Colorado's defense has allowed at least 35 points in four of its first five games, giving Arizona State a clear path to victory on Saturday night.
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.
