Arizona State vs Duke Preview & Picks

Duke are tipped to cover as a slight favourite in the Sun Bowl.

The Blue Devils finished the regular season strong, winning the ACC title, and they can take advantage of a Sun Devils team that will be without Sam Leavitt.

  • Duke are on a 3-game win streak
  • Duke are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 wins
  • Arizona State are 0-4-0 ATS in their defeats
  • The Under has hit in 8 of Arizona State’s last 11 games

Head To Head

  • Arizona State lead the all-time series 1-0
  • Arizona State won 36-31 when the two teams last met in December 2014

Arizona State Form

Arizona State earned a Bowl Game invite by winning eight of their 12 regular season games.

The Sun Devils went 2-1 in non-conference action to start the season, before opening their Big 12 schedule with a 27-24 win at Baylor and a 27-24 success at home to TCU.

They failed to make it three-in-a-row as they lost 42-10 at Utah, and they were then unable to build on a 27-22 victory against Texas Tech as they fell 24-16 to Houston.

Arizona State responded to that setback with a three-game win streak, beating Iowa State 24-19, West Virginia 25-23 and Colorado 42-17, but they were unable to make it four-in-a-row.

The Sun Devils ended the regular season with a 23-7 defeat when they played host to Arizona.

Duke Form

Duke closed out the regular season on a three-game win streak that lifted them to an 8-5 record and earned then the ACC title.

The Blue Devils failed to build on an opening-day win as they dropped back-to-back non-conference games, but they made a flying start to their ACC schedule as they won three straight.

They beat NC State 45-33 at home, and built on that victory on the road as they downed Syracuse 38-3 and Cal 45-21.

Duke cooled off after that, losing 27-18 to Georgia Tech before failing to back up a 46-35 victory at Connecticut as they lost 34-17 to Virginia.

The Blue Devils rallied though, securing an ACC Championship appearance by beating North Carolina 32-25 and Wake Forest 49-32, and they then claimed the conference crown with a 27-20 win over Virginia.

Verdict

Duke take plenty of momentum into this matchup and now they get to face an Arizona State team without its star quarterback.

Give us the Blue Devils to add the Sun Bowl to their ACC Championship trophy.
