    Best College Play on the Board: Arizona State +14

    I might do a write-up on this game but for now I will be brief. Oregon is overpriced here and the Sun Devils are not getting enough respect. This is a really good Arizona State team. They have the horses to run with the Ducks and put up a good fight last season but were done in with some untimely turnovers. Arizona State has had this game circled for a long time. It's their game of the year and they have been preparing for quite some time. I expect ASU to try and control the clock with their solid running attack and for their defense to force some key turnovers. Oregon has run up the score on some mediocre competition but they will be in for a tough game this week.

    Arizona State +14 -110 (3x)

    I'm going to look into this game a little more and will likely add to this play.

    By the way, LaMichael James might be out. This could cause the line to drop so I advise taking ASU sooner rather than later.

    Was it not Az St. that had Oregon pretty much beat until they imploded at the end of the game?

    Got ASU in a teaser for +23. I don't see how Oregon covers that number, especially without James.

    I was at the ASU/ORE game last year and they should of won but the 6+ turnovers they had destroyed their hopes. Being an ASU fan, they never win the big games, EVER but maybe this year will be different. They finally beat a somewhat decent USC team and pulled off a close game against Mizzou so things are changing. Brock O is overrated to say the least. I'm tired of hearing he's 6'8'' and mobile, bs mobile ha. ASU has the ability to win but they will have to have a close to perfect game to pull it off in one of the toughest stadiums to win. Have a feeling it will be a close one but hey its ASU we're talking about.

    GO DEVILS

    i missed the +15 or whatever it is but the +14 should be good enough ASU has a strong defense and enough weapons vs a medocre defense to keep it close

    ASU would not win this game with Jake Plummer playing.

    I'd venture to say they have plenty of depth there considering Seastrunk was gonna be fourth on the depth chart if he had played there this year. Second guy averaged like 6ypc last year.

    D Thomas, and Co. will pickup the slack.

    Is LaMicheal James awesome? Yes, although this is a system offense. Oregon has many plug-ins.

    The value may be gone at +14, you missed the boat on +16 and even some +16.5 yesterday (Tuesday)

    Maybe so LT but the way i see it, if you take a spread like this you are hoping for nothing worse than a 10 point loss. Sure 16 is much better than 14 but I see this game being within 10 points. I actually think ASU will have a shot at pulling off the upset.

    I'd actually want +14.5 bare minimum here, Ducks by 2 TDs is not too far fetched. And no, I don't want to pay to buy the half-point.

    We might see a buy back on this matchup on gameday sir.

    I did a write up on this game on Monday when the line was at ASU +15 but yeah, they are under-rated and undervalued big time in a 2TD+ spread assuming Oregon's best offensive weapon isn't playing, meh @ 14.5 its still a pretty good bet even if he is playing, I wont say its "The best play on the board" but its not a terrible one, I endorsed the over and still do.

    Big difference between 14.5 and the current 14. I agree ASU is a good play at 14.5, at 14 it is closer to neutral.

    Agreed. I like ASU here but I didn't bet on them I took the OVER, I figure ASU is good for 30+ and if Oregon is going to cover they are going to need to score and score often. seemed easy enough.

    I'll probably play ASU 1st half +7.5 and then assuming that wins take Oregon -whatever for the second half. Oregon notoriously slow starters and incredible finishers.

    I'm an Oregon fan and I still say ASU covers. ASU is a bit underrated and Oregon is a bit overrated this year. Barner can fill in the shoes of James for the most part, but the offense as a whole is just not as dynamic as it was last year. Ducks D lost a lot, too.
