The Sun Devils are listed as favorite at Bookmaker with betting odds -275 and the hosting UCLA are underdog at +235.

Arizona State is 4-2 against the spread in its last 6 games, but UCLA is 12-4 ATS in its last 16 games at home. UCLA has a long, long list of injuries which will prevent a number of players from participating in the Week 11 game, including QBs Patrick Cowan and Ben Olson, WRs Marcus Everett and Gavin Ketchum, and lots of defensive personnel. Arizona State is overall healthy, only RB Jarrell Woods is questionable for the game against UCLA, the Sun Devils should have no problem covering the spread.

Injuries are the biggest problem here and although Miami's quarterback Kyle Wright has been upgraded to probable, WR Lance Leggett is questionable and WR Jermaine McKenzie is out. DT Josh Holmes and CB Carlos Armour are also questionable, but RB Charlie Jones, DT Dwayne Hendricks, and LBs Glenn Cook and Romeo Davis are all out indefinitely, due to injuries.
