Saturday’s Pac-12 After Dark game is worth staying up for because the winner of the matchup between the No. 18 Arizona State Sun Devils and Utah Utes has the inside track at winning the South division. These are the only two programs without a loss in the conference, and oddsmakers suggest this should be a fantastic game in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Here’s all the data you’ll want, and a pick for the game!

The Pick
Arizona State +1.5
The Utah passing game has seen gradual improvement since quarterback Cam Rising took over for Charlie Brewer, who is now in the transfer portal, I doubt the Utes can keep up with what Arizona State can do offensively. The Sun Devils rank No. 5 in yard per play offensively and are efficient in the running and passing game. Arizona State hasn’t let the NCAA investigation distract them from their goal for this version of the team, and the Sun Devils will keep on rolling as the current favorite to win the Pac-12.
