Why Arizona can cover
Arizona has been a covering machine this season with an 8-1 ATS mark. Balance has been key for the Wildcats, who rank fifth in the Pac-12 in both total offense and defense. The defense has been extremely tough to run on as it is giving up only around 100 yards per game on the ground.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Noah Fifita has been a huge boost to the offense and he's been helped by an impressive group of skill players. Receivers Tetairoa McMillan (52-753-7) and Jacob Cowing (69-510-9) comprise one of the conference's top WR duos. Tight end Tanner McLachlan (31-389-2) has been solid, and running back Jonah Coleman (93-565-3) ranks eighth in the Pac-12 in rushing. See which team to pick here.
Why Colorado can cover
While Colorado has lost three straight games and five of its last six, the Buffaloes have been competitive against ranked teams. They covered the spread as 13-point underdogs in their 26-19 loss to Oregon State last week, scoring 14 points in the fourth quarter of that setback. That came one week after their 28-16 loss to UCLA, where the Buffaloes covered the spread as 14-point road underdogs.
Junior quarterback Shedeur Sanders leads Colorado's offense with 2,882 passing yards, 24 touchdowns and three interceptions, racking up 300 yards in five games this season. Arizona has lost two of its four road games, while one of its road wins came by just one point at Stanford in September. The Wildcats are in a letdown spot following three wins over ranked opponents, especially since they have a game against No. 18 Utah looming next week. See which team to pick here.
