The Utah Utes have won six straight, and they are a road favorite at Arizona State tonight. The Sun Devils are still looking for their first win in conference play, coming off a 59-56 loss at Oregon on Saturday. I think Utah is asked to cover just a few too many points on the road against a conference rival tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The home team has won nine of the last 10 in this series, and the only exception was when Arizona State upset the Utes in Utah back in 2002.

2. Live Dog - The underdog has been a good bet, going 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings between these two teams.

3. X-Factor - There aren't a lot of things ASU does better than #8 Utah, but they do shoot for a slightly better % from the charity stripe.

Selection: This is a play on the Arizona State Sun Devils (8*)
