<p>The Pac-12 is off to a crazy start to this season, and Arizona State and Stanford look to add to it when they meet Friday night in Tempe. The Cardinal already own victories over two Pac-12 contenders this season, while the Sun Devils own first place in the Pac-12 South. </p>
<p>Arizona State also owns only one win over its last seven meetings with Stanford, but it's favored here by double-digits.

<h2>Stanford-Arizona State Betting Odds </h2>
<p>This week's <a class="advblue" href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/ncaaf/odds&quot; title="Compare College Football Odds">college football betting lines</a> opened Arizona State as a 10-point favorite over Stanford, with an over/under of around 52. Early betting action then bumped the Sun Devils a point and a half to -11.5.</p>
<h2>Stanford Betting Preview </h2>
<p>The Cardinal are 3-2 on the season and 2-1 in Pac-12 play after upsetting Oregon at home last week 31-24 in overtime. Stanford scored the first 10 points of the game and led 17-7 at the half, then allowed the Ducks to score the first 17 points of the second half to fall down 24-17 midway through the fourth quarter. But the Cardinal tied the game with a touchdown on an un-timed down on the last play of regulation, then won it in OT with a TD and a defensive stop.</p>
<p>Stanford got out-gained by Oregon 414-354 and out-rushed 228-124 but converted the only takeaway of the game into a touchdown and caught a couple of late breaks (cough, cough, defensive holding in the end zone). Really, after basically dominating the first half of that game, the Cardinal probably should have lost.</p>
<p>Stanford opened this season with a bad loss to Kansas State but then beat USC outright as an 18-point underdog and beat Vanderbilt 41-23 to cover as a 13-point favorite. The Cardinal then lost at home to UCLA. So it’s a bit difficult to tell right now what you’re going to get from this Stanford team on any given Friday.</p>
<h2>Arizona State Betting Preview </h2>
<p>Meanwhile, the Sun Devils are 4-1 on the season and 2-0 in-conference after beating the Bruins at the Rose Bowl last week 42-23. Arizona State trailed that game 17-10 midway through the second quarter but scored two long touchdowns from scrimmage to lead 24-23 at the half. The Sun Devils then won the second half 18-0 to secure the outright victory as three-point underdogs. </p>
<p>ASU put the game away late in the third when, up by nine, they stuffed UCLA on a fourth down at the 2-yard line, then drove 98 yards to a touchdown.</p>
<p>Arizona State out-gained the Bruins 463-435 and held UCLA 16 points below its season average.</p>
<p>The Sun Devils opened this season with easy wins over FCS Southern Utah and UNLV, although they couldn't cover a couple of huge spreads. ASU then lost at BYU 27-17 even though they out-gained the Cougars by 65 yards. But the Sun Devils then bounced back to beat Colorado 35-13, covering as 14-point favorites.</p>
<p>At the moment, with USC already losing twice, we make Arizona State the favorite to win the Pac-12 South.</p>
<h2>Cardinal-Sun Devils Recent History</h2>

Cardinal vs. Sun Devils Prediction ATS10/8/21

These teams have played one common opponent so far this season; Arizona State beat UCLA 42-23 while Stanford lost to the Bruins 35-24. And total yardage basically reflected those scores. Also, we consider Stanford a candidate for a letdown this week, after upsetting Oregon last week, plus the Cardinal are a little banged up. We’re siding with the Sun Devils here, minus the points.
