Utes at Sun Devils Prediction ATS 1/25/2018

Neither squad has been tearing it up in conference play with Utah holding a 4-4 record and ASU 3-4. The Sun Devils are just  1-1 in PAC-12 matches, losing by four to the Ducks a team that the Utes beat by 10 on the road and beat the Beavers by two, a team that the Utes again beat on the road. Arizona State did win by three earlier in Utah, but this is a team that has yet to cover a spread in seven conference games. The previous match between these two squads was tied in the last minute and I see no reason to expect a different type of game this go around.
