Prediction

Overall, the Sun Devils could have a decent home record.

They will earn two easy victories to start out the season, but once conference play starts things get dicey.

ASU should beat Oregon. They are facing off at home, and Oregon is on the downswing while ASU looks to be on the upswing. If the Sun Devils make sure that they don’t believe in the hype that comes with a 3-0 team, then they should be able to get the victory.

After Oregon, they have three tough home games in Washington, USC and Colorado. They most likely won’t come out on top over Washington or USC, but they could earn the victory over Colorado.

The final game of the season also happens to be the last home game for ASU. With the Sun Devils going up against their rivals, the University of Arizona, emotions will be high. If they can use those emotions to fuel a strong performance, then they should be able to reclaim the territorial cup.

I predict that the Sun Devils will finish with a home record of 5-2. They got a favorable draw and they should be able to reap the benefits of playing a majority of their games at home.
