As week 3 approaches in the Pac-12, there are plenty of games that have a Conference team heavily favored—but a couple of them should be cautious (for different reasons) against inferior competition.

Washington State has to avoid an emotional letdown against Colorado State, and Arizona takes on an FCS powerhouse in North Dakota State that could give the Wildcats a run for their money in Tuscon.

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I’m joined by the host of ‘Locked on Sun Devils,’ Richie Bradshaw.

He gives his insight on whether or not Arizona State could be on upset alert against Eastern Michigan as a 20-point home favorite.

On paper, either Utah or USC could have a trap game in front of them facing San Diego St and Fresno St at home, respectively.

Instead, both appear to be poised to blowout their Mountain West foes in front of their home fans as they look to prove themselves to be Pac-12 contenders in 2022.
