Couldn't agree more. I thought this, along with the Holy War and Arkansas/TCU, are easily the 3 best games this weekend. 2 of those 3 people were talking about all weekend, I'll let you know which one wasn't really discussed.

C'mon Devils.

Make friends: Get to SB Nation’s team blog chats for this game at House of Sparky for Arizona State and Viva the Matadors for Texas Tech fans.

Three big things to know
1. If Texas Tech wants to compete for a postseason game, this matchup is crucial. Note how I said "game," not necessarily bowl. No, I'm not saying "Tech will go to the playoff!" but given that the Big 12 favorite Oklahoma got beat down by Houston, and Texas upset no. 10 Notre Dame in double overtime, the Big 12 race looks pretty open. Regardless, winning a late-night game against a Pac-12 team during Week 2 will undoubtedly boost the Red Raiders' resume.

2. Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes is a nightmare to defend. Last week, the junior completed 70 percent of his passes while tossing four touchdowns and racking up 483 passing yards. Oh, and he only played about a half. Mahomes had over 4,000 yards in the air a year ago, so he can undoubtedly sling it. The Sun Devils' secondary lost some key members, but gaining JUCO transfers like J'Marcus Rhodes and Bryson Echols should help fill those gaps.

3. Arizona State fares well historically against the Big 12. Arizona State holds a 13-5-0 all-time record vs. current Big 12 teams. It also holds a winning record against each of the eight teams it has played from the conference, with the exception of Texas Tech (tied 1-1) and Texas (0-1).

Don't then.

It would seem the action mostly went to TTU. The line has moved between 4 and 6 points depending on the book. Unless you're comfortable with ASU, and as an ASU fan I don't know why you would be, you've missed the boat.

Honestly I would play the Red Raiders and feel confident about it. ASU's passing defense is a fucking mess and that's putting it lightly. I expect Tech to come away with the win on the road. Hope I'm wrong.

Well there is no reason we can't be civil. The game remains an intriguing matchup. Two pathetic schools with equally pathetic fan bases throwing bread products in a classic case of cultural appropriation. Should be a high scoring affair both on the field and in the stands resulting in raider rash and sun devil burn for much of the student body. A sad affair indeed.
