Utah vs Arizona Prediction
Utah comes into this matchup with an undefeated record on the season, but they will be on the road here. The Utes are coming off of a big rivalry win over BYU, so this could be a letdown spot for them. Arizona is 7-2 on the season, but they were very lucky to beat TCU last week. The Wildcats get inconsistent play from Fifita at quarterback, but when he is on, he is an elite passer. This should be a great game, but I just can’t count on Fifita to figure it out against an elite defense. Take Utah here.
