AAA's THURSDAY NIGHT CFB SUPER-BLOWOUT (SOLID 2-1 TO OPEN 2017/18 CFB SEASON!)
(NCAAF) New Mexico State vs. Arizona State,
Point Spread: -22.00 | -106.00 Arizona State (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* SUPER BLOWOUT on Arizona State.

Both teams struggled last year. Some may think that the Aggies have a shot at keeping this one close, but we believe the Sun Devils will be prepared and we expect them to keep the foot on the gas from start to finish.

New Mexico State: The Aggies won just three games last year. New Mexico State returns 44 lettermen and 16 starters, so they're expected to be much better all around this year. The defense was ranked 121st by giving up 38.8 PPG, so it's hard to imagine the unit being worse this season. QB Tyler Rogers had 2,603 yards, 16 TD's and 12 INT's last year. RB Larry Rose is expected to have a big campaign, he finished with 865 yards and four TD's.

Arizona State: The Sun Devils were just 5-7 last year, missing a bowl for the first time since 2010. 13 starters are back this season. The offense was a bright spot, averaging 33.3 PPG and with seven starters returning, including QB Manny Wilkins, it will once again be a strength of the team this year. The run game also looks solid with Demario Richard and Kalen Ballage. The defense gave up 39.8 PPG last season, but the unit returns six starters this year and the group is expected to make big strides.

The bottom line: We think that Wilkins is the big difference maker tonight. Lay the points with confidence, play on the SUN DEVILS.
