Oregon at Arizona picks and predictions
Prediction
Arizona 84, Oregon 74
Moneyline
AVOID.
It isn’t worth taking either of these teams to win straight up at the current odds. Arizona is much too steep and it should win by margin, so focus on the spread instead.

Against the spread
ARIZONA -8.5 (-105) is how to play the spread even though Oregon has been playing well against conference opponents recently, The Wildcats are strong at home and they’ll be looking to bounce back after losing 87-68 to the Ducks on the road on Jan. 14.
Over/Under
OVER 151.5 (-105) is an intriguing bet with how well Arizona plays on the offensive end. The Wildcats average 82.9 points per game (11th in the nation), while the Ducks produce 70.3 points per game (210th).
Both of these teams have gone 5-1 to the Over in their last 6 games against teams with a winning record.
