Washington is the ranked team and Arizona State is 0-2 in conference play with their last loss being a game in which they scored just 37 points. And yet the Sun Devils are the favorite here. Hmmm.
The Huskies have only played one true road game and that was a 7-point OT loss at Texas Tech. UW owns offensive and defensive efficiency rankings of 69th and 59th, respectively. On the flip side, ASU's two conference losses both came on the road. The Sun Devils are 9-1 at home, and they own offensive and defensive efficiency rankings of 33rd and 39th, respectively.
I expect Washington to struggle a bit on the road, while ASU continues their solid play at home. The Sun Devils should be plenty motivated to get their first conference win and erase the memory of that 37-point performance at USC in their last game. Lay it with Arizona State.
