Arizona State -3.0(-110)BYU @ Arizona State

The Big 12 showdown of the week takes us to Tempe, where the weather is perfect and no one is worried about any winter storms, unlike so much of the rest of the country. Our BYU Cougars vs Arizona State Sun Devils prediction takes us to a game with huge implications for the Big 12 championship. The winner of this game is a massive favorite to make it to the conference title game, where they have a chance to get into the playoffs. BYU is coming off their first loss of the season, but their hopes are not yet dashed. Arizona State is building off a road upset of Kansas State, and they have themselves on the verge of a great season. They say home field is worth 3 points in betting, but I think this Sun Devil team is just way better than BYU anyway. I am happy to play Arizona State -3 in this one.

Arizona State deserves your attention. Coming into the season, we thought this would be a bad team. They are not. We thought their defense would be bad; turns out, they are a top 50 defense, and they are particularly stout against the run (122 yards allowed per game), and they have done that against some run-heavy conference opponents. They have a quarterback with some serious moxie, and one of the most underrated RBs in the game. As for BYU, this team has been living on borrowed time for weeks. They were gifted a win over Utah 2 weeks ago. They shouldn’t have beaten Baylor. They were underdogs against UCF. They beat Kansas State because of one of the silliest 10-minute stretches in football. They barely beat a banged up Oklahoma State team. Sure, wins are wins, but this team shouldn’t be winning this much. I think the Sun Devils end the BYU story and steal the narrative for themselves on Saturday, and I am happy to lay the points with what I think is the far more talented team.

BYU vs Arizona St Prediction: Arizona State -3 (-110) available at the time of publishing. Playable to -5.5.

Best Bets Against The Spread College Football

The most popular college football bet is betting against the spread (ATS). Against the spread betting isn’t about picking a winner of the game, it’s about picking the team who will cover the spread, a line set by sportsbooks. Let’s say you bet your money that Team A covers the spread (wins by a certain amount of points), Michigan -8.5 for example. Or that Team B will cover the spread (keep the game closer than oddsmakers expect), Penn State +8.5. If Michigan beat Penn State 30-27, then Penn State covers the spread, and underdog backers are cashing tickets with +8.5 on Penn State. Whereas if Michigan wins 30-20, more than 8.5 they cover the spread and favorite backers are cashing tickets. 

When Do You Post Your NCAAF Best Bets For This Weekend 

We post all of our NCAAF Best Bets at least a day before the scheduled college football match. We wait until this point to allow our expert handicappers to consider every angle such as injury updates, press conferences and team news, as well as extensive statistical research. Our NCAAF Best Bets are exactly what they say on the tin. With so many NCAAF games played each weekend, we have a confidence rating on all of our NCAAF Picks, with 3 stars being the most confident, and then we further narrow down our three-star plays into our NCAAF Best Bets. These will typically be posted on a Thursday or Friday ahead of the weekend’s schedules. Check out this week’s NCAAF Best Bets right here on the College Football Best Bets page.
