Stanford has been an underdog five times this season. The Cardinal has yet to win or cover in that role. 

Arizona State is one point away from being unbeaten in eight games. 

So, yeah, I find this line to be too short. 

The Sun Devils rank No. 3 in the country in defensive field goal percentage. Stanford averages just 66.5 points and is one of the worst 3-point shooting teams in the nation ranking 322nd. 

Arizona State upset Colorado, 60-59, as 4 1/2-point road 'dogs this past Thursday. The Sun Devils showed a lot of character in that victory, coming from 15 points down at halftime and playing without point guard Frankie Collins, their top assist man and leading scorer. Collins is questionable for this game. 

The Sun Devils proved they could win against a tough foe on the road without Collins. Now they draw an easier opponent at home. So I like the Sun Devils with or without Collins.
