Utah is coming off a 22-19 road win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Backup Quarterback turned starter Isaac Wilson completed 17-of-29 passes for 207 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the game.

Prediction
Utah may still be without Cam Rising at quarterback, but that should not keep you from backing them in this game. Arizona’s offense was non-existent against Kansas State last week and the vast majority of the points they have scored this season have come against lesser competition.
Meanwhile, Utah has one of the better running backs in the country and they have a top-25 scoring defense. Because of this, backing the Utes to cover will be our best bet.
Final Pick
Utah Utes -11 (-108)
