What there is to know
After a two-game homestand, the Utah Utes will be on the road. Utah and the Arizona State Sun Devils will face off in a Pac-12 battle at 10:30 p.m. ET Saturday at Sun Devil Stadium, Frank Kush Field. The Utes won’t have the home court advantage, but they do enjoy a 15.5-point advantage in the spread.
When you finish 225 yards ahead of your opponent like Utah did last week, a favorable result is almost sure to follow. They hurt the San Diego State Aztecs with a clear 35-7 win. With Utah ahead 21 to none at halftime, the game was already almost over. Utah QB Cameron Rising threw it as he passed for four touchdowns and 224 yards on 30 attempts.
Meanwhile, ASU fell short against the Eastern Michigan Eagles last week, losing 30-21. It wasn’t the outcome ASU or its fans were betting on, as they were 20.5 points out to EMU going into this game. The losing team was boosted by RB Xazavian Valladay, who rushed for a TD and 127 yards on 16 carries.
This next contest looks promising for the Utes, who are favored by 15.5 points. Those taking them against the spread are betting on a result similar to the team’s game last week, where they covered a 21.5-point spread.
Utah is now 2-1 while ASU sits in a 1-2 mirror image. A few stats to keep in mind while watching: Utah ranks 17th in the nation in interceptions thrown, with just one on the season. But ASU is even better: they haven’t thrown an interception yet this season. So expect both teams to feel comfortable spreading the ball.
