Oregon at Arizona picks and predictions
Prediction
Arizona 82, Oregon 71
Moneyline
PASS.
The Wildcats are rightfully a strong favorite, but they aren’t worth a play on the moneyline. Similarly, the Ducks haven’t played well enough to back.
Against the spread
LEAN OREGON +13.5 (-110).
The Wildcats beat the Ducks by 9 on the road earlier in the season, and in that victory, Love went for 36 points and the Cats shot 53% from downtown. That’s unlikely to be repeated.
While the Ducks have struggled to cover as of late, they are 2-1 ATS in their last 3 games as an underdog. Three of their top 4 scoring options shooting at least 45% from the field. Arizona is a strong side, but the Ducks have the capability to cover here.
Take OREGON +13.5 (-110), and don’t expect history to repeat itself in this one.

Over/Under
BET UNDER 158.5 (-110).
The Ducks have gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games, allowing Under 71 in 5 straight and allowing Under 65 in 3 of their last 5. The Wildcats have gone Under in 3 straight and in 5 of their last 8 games.
Arizona has allowed 71 or fewer in 4 of their last 8, so they have stepped it up defensively. The recent trends for both teams suggest the defenses have improved.
That said, take UNDER 158.5 (-110).
