Why Arizona State can cover
The Sun Devils are off to their first 4-1 start since 2021 after collecting the program’s first-ever win in the Big 12 last week against Kansas. Sam Leavitt threw for four touchdowns in the 35-31 victory and Cameron Skattebo continued his incredible season by rushing for 182 yards and a score.
Skattebo has now accounted for 378 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns over his last two games. His bruising running style has helped Kenny Dillingham’s squad control the line of scrimmage and the second-year head coach will continue to lean on his star tailback heavily against Utah after the Utes gave up 161 rushing yards in a loss to Arizona.

Why Utah can cover
The Utes are ranked No. 16 in the AP Top 25 despite suffering a loss two weeks ago against the Wildcats. Coming off a bye week, Utah will reportedly get starting quarterback Cam Rising back into the lineup and their College Football Playoff aspirations may hinge on his health going forward. Rising has been bothered by a hand injury for the last five weeks but he’s been one of the most productive quarterbacks in college football when healthy throughout his career.
Utah also has one of the best defenses in college football. The Utes only allow 15.0 points per game (15th in the nation) and rank 16th in the nation in yards allowed per game (280.2). Defensive end Van Fillinger in particular has been a game wrecker, as he ranks first on the team in tackles for loss (7.0) and sacks (5.5) as well as second in tackles (24).
