College Football Week 9 Odds, Picks & Prediction: Arizona State vs. Colorado
Arizona State began the season 1-3 ATS and 1-3 SU. Since the calendar flipped to October, ASU is 3-0 ATS, with one outright upset as a double-digit underdog.
ASU interim HC Shaun Aguano appears to be taking full-advantage of this open audition for future jobs. He's changed numerous things since the firing of former HC Herm Edwards. Most recently, Aguano took over play-calling duties after a series of wonky schematic decisions led to a 15-14 loss to Stanford.
Colorado has also benefited from a coaching change - most have*. Or at least the Buffs did for one game. After upsetting Cal, Colorado returned to being Colorado last time out against Oregon State. The Buffs have finished with a 0% postame win expectancy in every game this season outside of the Cal blip.
Arizona State's strong running game - the best thing either team will bring to the field Saturday - will tee off on Colorado's horrific run defense (No. 129 success rate, No. 117 marginal explosiveness). Meanwhile, it's hard to see CU's feeble offense - which hasn't scored more than 20 points in any game - scoring much. In its three-previous games against SP+ defenses ranked in ASU's neighborhood, Colorado averaged 13.3 PPG.
Any spread beneath ASU -14 is too low.
