The matchup
Utah hasn't lost all year, and the most recent stretch shows why. The Utes beat BYU Cougars 28-20 last week, and before that handled Cincinnati Bearcats 49-25, Houston Cougars 21-13, Colorado Buffaloes 27-24 and Kansas Jayhawks 41-24. On the season Utah has outscored opponents 339 to 147.
Arizona has been nearly as steady. The Wildcats edged TCU Horned Frogs 29-28 last time out after dropping a 26-34 decision to Texas Tech Red Raiders. Before that they rolled past Iowa State Cyclones 39-3, West Virginia Mountaineers 52-31 and Cincinnati Bearcats 34-7. Arizona's point totals for the season sit at 308 scored and 179 allowed.
Key matchups
This one comes down to whether Arizona's offense, which has put up 308 points this season, can move the ball against a Utah defense that has allowed just 147. Flip it around and Utah's offense, which has scored 339 points, will test an Arizona defense that has given up 179.
Utah's nine-game winning streak says its formula has held up against a variety of opponents. Arizona's lone blemish in this stretch came against Texas Tech Red Raiders, and how the Wildcats respond after that kind of setback, paired with last week's close win over TCU Horned Frogs, will shape how competitive this one stays.
The pick
The market has Utah as a one-point favorite with a total of 55.5, and the market score projects Utah 28, Arizona 27. That lines up with what's in front of us: Utah is unbeaten and riding a nine-game winning streak, while Arizona has been good but not spotless, with a loss to Texas Tech Red Raiders in the last five weeks.
Expect a close one. Utah's margin for error has been enough to get through nine straight, and that's the slight edge here, but Arizona's one-game winning streak and its own scoring numbers mean this is not expected to be a blowout either way.
