Want some fun to watch offense while you recover from the food and beverage coma? Here you go. The Sun Devils and Mountaineers will provide what you need.

WVU put up 33 points per game, while ASU put up 34, and both teams absolutely have their strengths. The Sun Devils will want to stretch the field and go downfield, and the Mountaineers have one of the best running attacks in the nation.

The Sun Devils have had their struggles on defense, but do tend to be strong against the run. West Virginia’s secondary has been their undoing this season, and coming up against a quarterback like Mike Bercovici will make that even more apparent.

Line: WVU, -1

The Sun Devils played a devilishly difficult schedule, but still remained competitive. They will be able to exploit the Mountaineers defensive backs. Take ASU.
