Tips and predictions for Mississippi State vs Arizona State

forecast

Arizona State 34, Mississippi State 27

Money line

Both teams won by similar margins, but the competition was not the same. The Bulldogs beat an FCS team in the Big Sky. The Sun Devils swept a Mountain West team that won 9 games last year.

Leavitt made a good impression in his college football debut and the Devils ran for 241 yards as a team and scored two defensive touchdowns.

I want the Devils to get their second win of the year, but at -210 odds it’s not worth the bet.

HAPPEN.

Against the spread

Both teams covered the spread in their wins last week.

Both teams’ offensive output was similar, with both totaling over 200 yards. But ASU had the takeaways against a better team, so Arizona State has the edge on a one-game basis.

BET ARIZONA STATE -5.5 (-112).

Over/Under

Either way, it will be a close game.

Since both teams scored 48 or more points last week, we expect them to score again.

BET OVER 58.5 (-110).
