This year’s version of the Duel in the Desert will feature two 8-3 teams, as the Arizona Wildcats travel to Tempe to take on the Arizona State Sun Devils for the Territorial Cup on Friday night.
The Sun Devils' playoff hopes are still alive with a win and some help to get them into the Big 12 Championship game, so there is more than just pride on the line here.
Find out who I like in my Arizona vs. Arizona State predictions and college football picks for Friday, November 28.
Arizona vs Arizona State prediction
Arizona vs Arizona State best bet: Jordyn Tyson Under 63.5 receiving yards (-114)
Redshirt Junior wideout Jordyn Tyson has had a very up-and-down season this year for the Arizona State Sun Devils. After averaging 8.1 receptions per game in the first seven games of the season, Tyson missed the next three games with a hamstring injury.
Last week, he returned on a snap count and only played 29 snaps. He finished the game with two catches for 61 yards. While he may not be on a tight snap count this week, he still is not likely back to 100% and will be facing a fierce pass defense.
The Arizona Wildcats rank sixth in the nation, allowing only 159.7 yards through the air per game. Only two receivers all season have gone beyond 91 receiving yards on Arizona, despite a few high-scoring games. They really struggle to stop the run, and so most teams use that to their advantage.
The strength of the Sun Devils offense is in their run game, and the strength of the Wildcats' defense is in the passing game. You must think there will be limited opportunities for Tyson, given the mismatches in the run game and the fact that he is still recovering from a hamstring injury.

To add to my best bet, I am going to go with both teams to stick to their mismatches, which is Arizona State sticking to the ground game and Arizona sticking to the pass game.
