Arizona State heads to Fort Worth on Tuesday night for a Big 12 matchup with TCU at Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena, and the market is pricing the Frogs as the home favorite at -6.5.

Arizona heads to Waco on Tuesday night for a Big 12 matchup with Baylor at Foster Pavilion, and the market is still asking you to lay a big road number with the No. 2 Wildcats at -9.5.

The records are identical at 18-9, but the splits tell the story the market is betting. USC has held up well away from home at 7-4, while UCLA has been a different team in this building at 15-2.
