Utah vs Arizona State – Big 12 Week 7 Betting Preview

Saturday, October 12 | Rice-Eccles Stadium, Salt Lake City | FOX

The Utah Utes return home after a dominant performance at West Virginia, ready to prove they belong in the Big 12 title conversation. They’ll face the Arizona State Sun Devils, ranked No. 21, who are tied for first place in the conference and have built a reputation for late-game resilience.

Utah’s 48-14 road win in Morgantown reignited their confidence, while Arizona State’s ability to rally in the fourth quarter has kept them undefeated in league play. Both teams enter with momentum — but only one will leave Salt Lake City with their Big 12 hopes intact.

Utah can win if

Quarterback Devon Dampier continues his steady command of the offense and Utah’s defense replicates the dominance it showed two weeks ago. Against West Virginia, the Utes scored touchdowns on five of their first six drives and never punted — one of their most complete performances under Kyle Whittingham this season.

Utah’s offense produced 33 first downs and 6.9 yards per play in that game, while the defense held West Virginia to just 95 total yards before halftime. The Utes’ front seven looked revitalized, generating pressure and forcing third-and-long situations consistently.

If Utah establishes the run early and uses play-action effectively, they can control possession and limit Arizona State’s comeback potential.

Arizona State can win if

The Sun Devils start fast and avoid the sluggish early drives that have plagued them in recent weeks. Despite a 4-1 start and back-to-back wins over Baylor and TCU, Arizona State trailed by double digits in both games before rallying in the fourth quarter.

Quarterback Jaden Rashada will need to be sharp against a Utah defense that thrives on early momentum. Arizona State’s defense is among the nation’s best in the trenches, allowing just 78.2 rushing yards per game and ranking fourth nationally in sacks (3.8 per game).

If the Sun Devils’ defensive line disrupts Dampier’s rhythm and the offense avoids early turnovers, they’ll have the firepower to extend Utah’s home losing streak in Big 12 play.

Line Movement and Odds

Matchup Breakdown

Utah averages 31.6 points and 412.4 yards per game, powered by a balanced attack that mixes Dampier’s dual-threat mobility with a physical offensive line. The Utes’ defense ranks top-20 nationally in third-down stops and red-zone efficiency.

Arizona State counters with a defense built for chaos. They lead the Big 12 in tackles for loss and are second in rushing defense, anchored by linebacker Clayton Smith and edge rusher B.J. Green II. Offensively, the Sun Devils have leaned on clutch performances from wideout Elijhah Badger and running back DeCarlos Brooks.
