Home teams off a 37-point or more win are 619-464-24 against the spread. Yes Stanford did win when they met earlier at Palo Alto. But now they travel 634 miles to play at ASU.

Remember, Stanford had the national championship as their goal. Forgive them if two losses later, the home team is much more fired up for this contest.

The Cardinal has been skittish away from home. It lost at Utah and USC and needed a last-minute defensive stand to secure its lone Pac-12 victory in true road games, at Oregon State.

The Sun Devils are dynamite at home, handling their five Pac-12 opponents by an average of 28 points. The ledger includes a blowout of Washington, which lost by a field goal in Stanford Stadium.
