Arizona State ended last season on a 4-1 run on the totals, while Texas A&M played three over results for bettors in its last four games to close last season. So the defenses better be ready when the Sun Devils and Aggies meet for the first time ever on a supposedly neutral field in Houston on Saturday night.
Point spread: Aggies opened as three-point favorites, according to sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark (see line updates and matchup report).
College football pick, via Odds Shark computer: 31.1-22.8 Sun Devils
Why the Arizona State Sun Devils can cover the spread
Arizona State gets back 16 starters this season from a team that nearly won a second-straight Pac-12 South title last year.
