Odds Checker: Take Arizona to cover against Utah
Jason Radowitz writes: "With Arizona's offense playing more efficiently, the Wildcats have the advantage, especially at home. Arizona has earned over 275 yards passing while also rushing for 152.22 yards per game. Plus, Arizona has won the turnover differential and has a much more reliable quarterback with less experience. Fifita is the real deal and running back Jonah Coleman has also averaged 7.2 yards per carry. Give me the Wildcats at home."

Fansided: Take Utah on the moneyline against Arizona
Jovan Alford writes: "On paper, we know that Arizona has the advantage at QB and the skill positions than the Utes. However, Utah has the supreme advantage on defense. They can stop the run and do not give up many points (17.8 ppg allowed). Additionally, the Utes are ranked third in sacks (30) and only allow opposing quarterbacks to complete 55.2% of their passes this season. Saturday afternoon’s game can go either way between these two teams. Hence, Arizona is favored by 1.5 points. But I’ll the Utes to win squarely because of their defense, which can take over and dominate games."
