Arizona State at Washington State

Mike Leach hasn't quite gotten this Washington State Cougars program up to where he'd like it to be, but progress has been made. The Cougars are a respectable 4-4, with all four losses coming to teams ranked in the top 32 in the country, including three loss vs. the top 11. Arizona enters at 5-2, but they stole a win on a horrible call vs. Wisconsin. And, they have been vulnerable against good offenses, so I expect a lot of scoring here. The Sun Devils' game has not translated to field turf of late as they are 0-5-1 ATS in their last six playing on it, and is also a product of the fact that they do not seem to travel well at 1-4 ATS in their last five on the road. Washington State has shown the ability to shake off an ugly loss to go 6-0 ATS in their last six after losing by 20 points or more. Leach is 33-17 ATS in his career after a loss and he has had two weeks to prepare for this one and he will keep it close.
