AAA's 3-GAME FRIDAY NIGHT DESTRUCTION PASS (BREAK OUT THE BROOMS!)
(NCAAF) Arizona State vs. UTSA,
Point Spread: 20.50 | -105.00 UTSA (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on UTSA.

Setting the scene: ASU comes off a wild 68-55 shootout victory over Texas Tech on Saturday. UTSA fell 23-14 at Colorado State on Saturday. Just like our play on Rice though, this one sets up beautifully as a "spot" wager, as we also feel Arizona State will get caught looking ahead to its game at home vs. conference rival California next weekend.

The Sun Devils: RB Kalen Ballage posted eight touchdowns last Saturday, seven rushing and one receiving. It tied the FBS all time record. QB Manny Wilkins finished with 351 yards and two touchdowns. ASU did not look good defensively though, allowing Texas Tech QB Patrick Mahomes to put up 540 passying yards and five major scores. ASU was horrible against the pass last year, allowing an average of 337.8 YPG through the air, which ranked it 128th in the nation.

The Roadrunners: UTSA's normally stout run game ran into a brickwall last week, going for minus-1 yard on 34 carries. Last year the team averaged 169 yards per game on teh ground. QB Dalton Sturm had 176 yards and two touchdowns. Defensively the Roadrunners were pretty good though, holding Colorado State to 328 overall yards, including just 108 through the air.

The bottom line: Note that ASU is 1-6 ATS in its last seven after posting more than 450 total yards, while UTSA is 2-1 ATS in its last three non-conference contests. With the game against the conference foe next weekend at home, and coming off the epic shootout victory over Texas A&M, the stage is set for a letdown from Arizona State this evening. Play on UTSA.
