Washington vs Arizona State Betting Prediction
The Huskies recently lost a good chance to surprise the Wildcats. They have lost four straight games, so I anticipate them playing this one closely in an effort to end their losing streak. Although the Sun Devils have a strong defense, their offense hasn't performed well and will struggle against the Huskies.
Although the Sun Devils are probably a better club than the Huskies, only two of their last six victories have been by ten points or more. In their previous 17 appearances as favorites of nine points or more, the Sun Devils have a 4-13 ATS record.
Pick: Washington Huskies +9.5 (-115)
