    Both teams are coming off bye weeks. This is a less than ideal spot for ASU; on the road, weekday game, high altitude, and they might be looking ahead to their matchup against no. 2 Oregon next week. Having said that, it is really hard to take this CU team, especially when their defense is getting carved up week in and week out. ASU has a potent spread attack that should give the Buffs problems all night. There were some concerns about ASU playing on the road early in the season, but their 27-17 win at Cal in their last game somewhat silenced those doubts. Colorado gave up nearly 500 yards in their last game (at home) vs UCLA, where they lost 42-14, and they needed a late garbage time touchdown to even make it that close. Maybe CU will be motivated following their bye and playing on national television, but I don't see any way they can stop this ASU offense.

    CU is horrible and ASU should roll . . . but home dogs have done well on weekday games this season. Both teams are coming off a bye week and Colorado just might get up for this game. On paper, ASU should destroy Colorado, but my biggest worry is that ASU has Oregon next week. And its not next Saturday either, it will be the next Thursday so ASU still only has a week to prepare for the Ducks. For that reason alone, I would stay away.

    asu should roll, but that's a lot of points to lay on a thursday night on the road in that altitude...

    Initially thought there was value in Colorado, then I remember how bad they can be. Still -22 is a lot of points for ASU to cover. I'm staying away from it

    Teased AZ at -15.5 (when the line was -21.5). They can cover a couple touchdowns & a 3 pt conversion. As folks said, despite the obvious disparity of both teams, the factors of road/altitude/Oregon make -23 too many points to lay.

    But I think there are better values out there.

    Agreed. Tough to find value w/ teasers, esp in NCAA. Jonsed for Thurs play & this was the most conservative (likely most expensive) way to do it.

    -22 is not hard for ASU to cover.
