The Arizona State Sun Devils struggled in a Week 1 loss to Texas A&M, and their 35-21 win over Cal Poly a week later wasn't overly impressive. They host New Mexico on Friday night, and the total in this game looks way to high if you ask me.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pass Protection - It's going to be hard for Arizona to run up the score if they can't protect their quarterback. Mike Bercovici has been sacked 10 times already in just two games.

2. Lobos Passing Game - New Mexico quarterback Lamar Jordan has thrown for just 244 yards with one TD and an INT in two games. The Lobos like to lean on their running game, but they are likely to have little success running on Arizona State's stout defense.

3. X-Factor - Junior running back Gump Haze will miss this game due to injury, leaving the Sun Devils a little thin in the backfield.

Selection: This is a play on UNM@ARZST to go UNDER the total (8*)
