Arizona vs. TCU Prediction
I’m on Arizona here with the points. I just think that you’re going to see a concerted effort here from Arizona as they have to win out to have a shot at a bowl game. TCU clinched bowl eligibility last week, and the only motivation they have this week is the Senior Day angle. Even still, I think Arizona can keep this respectable, so give me the Wildcats and the points.
