Kansas at Arizona State picks and predictions
Prediction
Kansas 30, Arizona State 27
Moneyline
KANSAS (+115) is 1-4 straight up and 0-5 ATS, and the market is overreacting to its bad start to the season. Daniels has a career 133.7 passer rating, and it’s only a matter of time before the redshirt junior QB returns to form.
Arizona State has already exceeded expectations, winning 3 games — it’s coming off back-to-back 3-9 seasons — and going 3-1 ATS.
The Sun Devils had the 2nd-longest preseason odds to win the Big 12 at +10000, and the Jayhawks had the 3rd-shortest at +800. I understand Arizona is having a better season up to this point, but I can’t bring myself to bet it as a favorite in this spot.
BET KANSAS (+115).
Against the spread
Kansas +2.5 (-110) should cover, but the plus odds on the ML are the way to go with a team this unpredictable.
PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.
Over/Under
The Over has hit in back-to-back Kansas games. There’s also a possibility that the offense puts up 30 or more points for just the second time this year, with Daniels bouncing back after a disappointing start to the season.
Arizona State has allowed 28 or more points in back-to-back games, and its run game looks like it may have been overrated after rushing for just 94 yards at Texas Tech Sept. 21.
BET OVER 50.5 (-110).
