The Arizona Wildcats snapped their 20-game losing streak and improved to 1-8 on the season after upsetting the California Golden Bears, 10-3, this past Saturday. Arizona was able to pull off the victory, however, California was playing hardly at full strength as they were missing over 24 players due to Covid-19. Arizona outgained California by a 331-122 margin, however, did commit 3 turnovers in the loss. Leading the way for the Wildcats was QB Will Plummer who completed 16 of 28 passes for 129 yards & 2 INT while also rushing for 68 yards.

The Utes are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a losing home record and 7-1 ATS vs. a team with a losing record. The Wildcats are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS win and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
Arizona was finally able to put an end to the nation’s longest losing streak, however, don’t be mistaken, this is not a very good football team and most likely wouldn’t have won if California was at full strength. Utah continues to impress as of late with an absolute domination of Stanford on the road and has looked like a new team on the offensive end averaging 38.5 ppg since Cameron Rising took over under center 6 games below. Arizona has struggled to score all season and as I think Utah will be able to put up 40+ in this one, I’m taking Utah to cover this large road spread. Good Luck!
