Sports Chat Place: Take ASU to cover vs. Eastern Michigan

It writes: "I’m going to stay with Arizona State. The Sun Devils had a rough matchup over the weekend, giving up 465 total yards and 30 first downs to a good Oklahoma State team. Arizona State came up with just 2-of-13 on third-down tries and committed 10 penalties for 95 yards so they weren’t doing themselves any favors either.  As for Eastern Michigan, they started out well against Louisiana but ultimately ended up with five turnovers and 10 penalties for 85 yards in a second-half collapse. It’s not going to get any easier in this matchup, and I don’t think the Eagles will be able to cover."
