The current betting odds have Arizona State listed as a 1.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Arizona State has been having a good year with their 15-5 record overall and they have even been good in their road games with a 4-2 road record. They have been playing well in conference play too as they are 6-3 in conference games this season but they have had a rough stretch these last 2 games, losing 2 games in a row to some good conference opponents in USC and UCLA. Washington hasn't been that great at all this season with their 12-9 record overall and they haven't even been great at home with a 9-4 home record. They have really been struggling in their conference games though as they are 4-6 in those games and they are going to have another tough opponent here that is going to be angry after losing 2 games in a row to really good teams. Arizona State will be looking to bounce back here and they have been a much better team all year with their play. The best way to place a bet here is on Arizona State to cover the spread in this game.

“I think the reason I’ve connected so much with this team is because we’ve had some guys that weren’t recruited heavily, that were overlooked, that play with a chip on their shoulder. And we certainly didn’t have a chip on our shoulder today.” - Bobby Hurley after his team’s loss against USC in their last game. 

“It was a great opportunity for our young guys to learn from this. The greatest lessons in sports come in tough games when you’re not at your best, but you’re still able to get the win.” - Mike Hopkins after his team’s close win against Colorado in a game last week.
