Arizona and Utah jostle for position in the super tight Pac-12 South this Saturday in Utah.

Arizona is a four-point road underdog on the college football betting lines at OddsShark.com for this week. With a stingy defense and home field advantage, look for the Utes to come out on top of this Pac-12 battle with a win and cover despite what the computer is predicting.
OddsShark Computer Prediction: Arizona 30.2, Utah 27.4
Anu Solomon has had an excellent season as the freshman starting quarterback for the Arizona Wildcats, but last week’s game against Washington was his worst to date. Despite Solomon throwing two interceptions and no touchdowns, the Wildcats squeaked out a 27-26 win as an eight-point favorite. With the narrow victory, Arizona improved to 8-2 SU but fell to 3-7 ATS. The Wildcats are 4-2 SU in their last six Pac-12 road games.
The Utes snapped a two-game losing streak last week with a strong performance in a 20-17 road win over Stanford as a 10-point road underdog. Utah has been one of the best betting values in college football this season with an 8-2 ATS record to go along with its 7-3 SU record including four outright upsets. The Utes are just 3-6 SU and ATS over their last nine home games against Pac-12 opponents.
Trends point to a potentially low-scoring game in this matchup. The UNDER is 5-2 in the last seven meetings between these two teams and 7-1 in Utah’s last eight games overall.
This game is a tough one to predict. Arizona can be a tricky team to handicap, failing to cover the spread in seven of its last nine games but winning outright as a 21.5-point underdog at Oregon to earn one of those two covers. Utah doesn’t have that strong of an offense, but its defense has played well to put up a productive showing in the offense-driven Pac-12. Defense and a loud crowd behind them should make the Utes a safe play at home as a four-point favorite at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com.
