Betting Trends: 

-Arizona State is 7-4 against the spread this season while Arizona is 5-5.

-Arizona State is 5-6 against the over/under this season whereas Arizona is 3-7.

Bottom Line:

The home team has won the last five head to head games between these two teams.  Arizona has been a disappointment thus far but the last few weeks Khalil Tate is finally starting to play to his potential.  Turnovers have been a problem for the Wildcats, but if they can take care of the ball, I think they squeak by at home.

Arizona wins 37-34
