Arizona vs. ASU: Previewing the game by the numbers

Before this week's Territorial Cup, let's dive into some statistics to get a handle on the Arizona Wildcats' chances against the Arizona State Sun Devils.

35.4%

As usual, we start the preview by looking at Arizona's chances of winning. Per Bill Connelly's S&P+ predictions, Arizona has a 35.4% chance of beating Arizona State. At first glance, that seems like a fair number - Arizona is on the road and has been hit with injuries all year, so a little better than a third chance of winning seems fine.

The more I think about it, though, the more I wonder whether we can put much stock in the advanced statistics.
