T.M. Selection: Arizona State.

I like Arizona State to cover the spread against UCLA in this game on Monday. Arizona State has won 3 games in a row now and they have looked really good in those games. Their 2 most recent games were both wins by 20+ points at home and they even squeaked out a road win right before those games. They haven't been great on the road this year but they did beat UCLA a few weeks ago in a home games and I think they can go into UCLA's building here and keep this game close at least. UCLA has won 2 games in a row now and both wins were by 20+ points but they just broke out of a funk that they were in and I think Arizona State can give them a good challenge here. Arizona State just won 2 games in a row by 20+ points and I think they can carry over that momentum in this game. UCLA has been giving a great defensive effort in their previous games but Arizona State has been doing the same since they have not given up 60+ points to the opposing team in 3 games in a row. I think Arizona State is going to keep playing very well on defense here since they have finally found a way to win games with their defensive effort. I think both teams will probably give a very good defensive effort here and I don't expect UCLA to run away with this game at any point. I think Arizona State will keep this game close and I like them to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 71-64 UCLA.
