On defense, Arizona State has given up 29.5 points per game and 5.26 yards per play allowed, while Colorado has allowed 29.38 points per game and 5.42 yards per play allowed. That slight defensive edge for Arizona State, combined with its stronger scoring output, is the main reason the home side grades better in this spot.
Arizona State is the more dependable side in this game, and the projection leans to a 31-24 Sun Devils win. Colorado has been uneven against the number and has allowed too much production to trust as an underdog, while Arizona State's offense has been stronger and its defense has been slightly tighter in the categories that matter most. The projected total lands in the mid-50s, which fits a game where both offenses can move the ball but Arizona State creates the better scoring chances and finishes with the edge at home.
