BYU entered the Top 25 thanks to a victory against Utah. That win helps Arizona State bettors, giving them less points to have to cover. After the Sun Devils' sluggish first half against UNLV, they turned the corner with 23 second half points. I expect the Sun Devils to notch another win as they continue to climb the polls.

BYU hasn't lost a step after losing QB Zach Wilson in the 2021 NFL Draft as the Cougars are 2-0 vs. the Pac-12 and upset No. 21 Utah last Saturday in the Holy War. Only Alabama (15-0) has a better record than BYU (13-1) since the start of last season. BYU also now has nine wins over Power 5 teams under rising head coach star Kalani Sitake. It's a "whiteout" game against Arizona State, and BYU has won 11 in a row at LaVell Edwards Stadium. It's one of the tougher places to play in the country. The No. 19 Sun Devils are pretty good but have played two cupcakes. They might win this game, but I don't see it by more than a field goal -- and BYU certainly could win outright. The Cougs are 5-1 ATS in their past six as dogs.

Provo is a tough place to play, especially for Power Five opponents in a late night tilt. That’s exactly what the Sun Devils will be walking into. It’s almost impossible to replace Zach Wilson, but Cougars signal-caller Jaren Hall has five touchdown passes and, more importantly, zero interceptions in a season in which he’s also added 128 yards on the ground. This is a multi-dimensional rushing attack that is going to be tough for Arizona State to slow down for a full 60 minutes. Consider BYU and the moneyline, but definitely grab those points.
