Auburn Tigers vs. Arizona Wildcats Prediction
I’m on Arizona in this one. I just think that Arizona is the better team in this game and the team with the big coaching advantage. This is also a really hard spot for Auburn to make their first true road appearance this season and Arizona is fully capable of beating up on anyone in this build on any given night. I’ll roll with Arizona in this one.
