Why Colorado can cover
Both teams might be riding losing streaks right now, but Arizona State is trending in a much worse direction. The Sun Devils have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last 10 games, including five of their last six home games. They have not won a game against a Power 5 team since last October when they beat Colorado in a 42-34 final.
However, the Buffaloes have a completely different roster and outlook this year, opening the season with a three-game winning streak that included an upset win over then-No. 17 TCU. They enter this game with some momentum after scoring the final 20 points of the game in their narrow loss to USC last week, as quarterback Shedeur Sanders finished with 371 passing yards and five total touchdowns. The Sun Devils are down to their third quarterback of the season due to injuries, so they are going to have trouble keeping pace with Colorado's explosive offense on Saturday.

Why Arizona State can cover
The Tempe desert and Mountain America Stadium can be a difficult place to play for opposing teams. The Sun Devils have covered the point spread in two straight games, and should have extra motivation with Coach Prime bringing the national spotlight to their home field. ASU has dropped four straight, but has shown signs of improvement over the last two weeks.
Junior running back Cameron Skattebo has been effective out of the backfield for Arizona State. He enters this matchup with 318 rushing yards and four touchdowns, and 14 catches for 228 yards and a TD. He will be facing a Colorado defense that gives up 184.2 rushing yards per game.
