The Houston Cougars will beat the Arizona State Sun Devils. The Houston Cougars will cover the spread, and the total will go over.

Analyzing the offensive and defensive metrics, Houston scores an average of 77.2 points per game with an efficiency rate of 44.2% from the field. Their passing game contributes nicely with about 15.7 assists per game, showcasing their ability to move the ball. Defensively, they hold opponents to a similar scoring average, suggesting that when it comes to shutting down rival offenses, they are well-equipped. On the other hand, Arizona State leads in scoring, averaging 80.8 points per game with a 46.1% field goal shooting percentage. However, their defensive rebounding stats reveal a concerning trend; they only average around 30.1 rebounds per game, which may lead to second-chance opportunities for Houston.

While Arizona State may have the higher scoring average, their weaknesses on the boards and Houston’s solid defense will likely tilt the game in favor of the Cougars. Additionally, the potential for high-scoring opportunities suggests that the total will exceed the line as both teams are capable of pushing the pace. Ultimately, with Houston’s well-rounded approach and Arizona State’s defensive gaps, I expect the Cougars to not only take the win but also capitalize on the offensive dynamics, leading to an over bet on total points scored.
