Video Summary

The Cincinnati Bearcats and Arizona State Sun Devils are set to match up in a pivotal week eight college football game on October 19th, 2024. Cincinnati enters with a 4-2 record, 3-2 against the spread, following a 19-3 win over UCF. Arizona State, meanwhile, boasts a 5-1 record, 5-1 against the spread, after defeating Utah 27-9. Despite Arizona State's strong performance, quarterback Sam Levis' injury threatens to disrupt their momentum. Jeff Sims, a transfer from Georgia Tech, is likely to replace Levis, although he has a history of turning the ball over. The Sun Devils' success this season has been largely due to Levis' play, and it's unclear how Sims will perform. Arizona State's offense has been effective on the ground, ranking 12th in rushing attempts and 22nd in rushing yards per game, but their pass defense has struggled, allowing 306.5 passing yards per game over their last three matches. The over 50.5 points appears to be the best play in this game, with both teams expected to score frequently.
