Let’s analyze FanDuel sports betting college basketball odds around Idaho State vs. Arizona State oddsand make our college basketball picks and predictions.

The Bengals are projected to be among the worst teams in the Big Sky Conference, which is an ominous sign heading into this road game against the Sun Devils.

Arizona State, led by coach Bobby Hurley, had a monster recruiting class, so we’ll see how things stack up. Jayden Quaintance is a standout center and former 5-star transfer from Kentucky. BJ Freeman and Alston Mason they’re also key additions, and if they clean up sooner rather than later, Sparky could get going.

Arizona State 85, Idaho State 59

Moneyline

Arizona State (-4500) will cost you 45 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward. Betting on heavy favorites like this is stupid and a terrible long-term betting strategy.

Against the spread

ARIZONA STATE -19.5 (-115) is an excellent play in the desert as the Sun Devils look to get off to a hot start against tiny Idaho State +19.5 (-105) who are expected to finish in the bottom third of the Big Sky.

The Bengals will have a size problem and you can expect Quaintance to handle it at home in this opener. Expect it to go for a double-double as Idaho State will have very few answers.

Over/Under

Over 140.5 (-106) is the slack in the opening, but only goes a half-unit game at best.

The Sun Devils will have to do most of the heavy lifting to get this one over the finish line for an Over, and it’s hard to believe that line is that low. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Arizona State get close to 90 points as they face very little resistance.
