When: 10:30 PM ET, Thursday, October 29, 2015
Where: Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Arizona
Televised: ESPN
Odds: The game opened as a pick and it now stands at Arizona State as favorites of 2.5. The OU line currently stands at 66.5.
The Oregon Ducks are not the power they have been the last few years as they come in 4-3 overall and just 2-2 in the PAC-12. They are 2-0 on the road in the PAC-12 so far, which is shocking as his team has been a much more dominant team at home than on the road. The offense has been explosive once again as they have averaged 516.3 ypg and 39.3 ppg on the year so far, but still they are putting up nearly a TD less per game than hey have in each of the last four years. In 2012 they put up 50 ppg, so they are way down from that. It looks as if Mariota is missed. On defense they have been respectable the last few years, but this year they have not been good at all as they have allowed 46.1 ypg and 36 ppg on the year. That's 12 ppg more than they allowed last year and 16 pg more than 2013. Oregon just can't stop anyone this year.
Arizona State also comes in at 43 overall and 2-2 in the PAC-12. They have been inconsistent at times like grabbing an easy win at USC while getting blown out at home by USC. The Sun Devils come in as a very average offensive squad hat has put up 420 ypg and 27.1 ppg on the year. They will need more points than that in this game, even though they ave a defense that has been decent this year, allowing 380 ypg and 27 ppg so far. They should be a little worried vs power five conference teams as they have allowed 32 ppg in games vs those teams this year. ASU is coming off a road game vs Utah that they played well in and even held a lead in the 4th quarter before Utah pulled away late. This team has the ability to play with the big boys.

[113] Oregon/ Arizona State Over 66.5
I don't know how 70 points are not scored in this game. I know that ASU can actually play defense, but the Duck offense is very strong and ASU did allowed 42 points to USC on this field earlier in the year. The ASU offense is down from the last couple of years, but at home it has been very good where they have averaged 481 ypg and 33 ppg on the year. They will take on a very poor Oregon defense that ranks 113th in the nation in total yards allowed, 123rd in passing yards allowed and 110th in points allowed (36 ppg). This is a Thursday night showcase type of game and I expect both teams to really showcase their offenses, with each team putting up at least 35 points.
