Arizona is coming off of a great win against UCLA and needs to win their last two games to go to a bowl game. Washington State has won two games in a row and has played outstanding defense this season. Arizona has been able to score over 31 points per game, but has one of the worst defenses in the country. I am going to take Arizona with the points, as they are at home and should be flying high after their last win.
