My Opinion on Baylor/ASU

From what I can tell from Baylor this year is that they haven't hit their stride yet. They make a ton of mistakes in crucial times where I think a good team but I see that ASU will capitalize on these mistakes. Which I think will be the difference in the game tonight. When I saw this line at +1.5 my gut reaction was to play ASU. And that is what I am going to do tonight. I see a close game with it going back and forth pretty much the whole game. But I just see Baylor making a mistake at the end and ASU will take advantage and therefore come out with a victory at the end. Baylor hasn't proved yet they can win a big game yet and this game is a big game against a top 15 opponent on ESPN2 tonight. Take this for what it is worth but that is just my input on a much improved Baylor team. I think they have a good season but I think they come up short tonight.

Use this info how you want, I will be on ASU tonight.


BOL on whatever you play.

Nick

Nice write-up, line is baiting ASU $ but I still think they are too good a value to pass on.

Being an ASU alum and fan of both hoops and football, I think this will be a tough game for them. I am always skeptical when they play talented teams with scorers and Baylor has that. Also, if Baylor can contain F James Harden, ASU doesn't really have another scoring threat. I went to the game at SDSU ( I live in San Diego ) and we had a tough time in the beginning versus their speed and up-tempo play. I have a feeling we will lose this game as we played our butts off against Charlotte and I don't see us repeating that effort. I hope I am wrong but this game scares me and I will not touch it...Good luck!

Goooo Devils-

tough game, seems like Baylor has the better offense, and the defenses are about even

Baylor has the edge in rebounding. Unless Pendergraph and Harden are on, I dont know how ASU is going to win this game.

Line is now Baylor -1
