Looking at previous games it is for sure that if you do not play 4 quarters you do not cover either, and I dont think PURDUE will play 4 quarters, they may play 2 or 1 good quarter, but there is no way they are focussed to play 4 quarters.
Nice hit on the CMU's as we discussed yesterday PURDUE must play 4 quarters to cover the game, they certainly played 2 good ones, and then sort of did what most other favorites do and dont play the complete game.
ASU looks good, Betting patterns and betting behaviours have set this as Texas -2.5. The funny thing is that Texas is #17 and ASU is #12, and they are favoring the #17 team. HMMM Wins over Arkansas state, TCu, UCF RICe, Iowa state, Baylor, Nebraska, Oklahoma state, Texas tech, make you a -2.5 favorite, well you know sometimes spreads are based on names and traditions, I see ASU as the better team here with the better coach.
Texas last 4 games allowed 25, 35, 43 and 38, they look to be getting worse at this point. ASU is a much much better Defensive team than Texas.
