The Oregon Ducks (4-1, 2-0 Pac-12) and the Arizona Wildcats (3-2, 1-1) meet in a conference game Saturday at Arizona Stadium in Tucson. Kickoff is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (Pac-12 Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Oregon vs. Arizona odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Ducks were embarrassed 49-3 in a neutral-site game against Georgia to open the season. However, UO has rolled to 4 consecutive victories while going 3-1 ATS during the span with 4 straight Over results.
The Wildcats have alternated wins and losses this season. Arizona topped Colorado at home last weekend, winning 43-20 to cover an 18-point number. It is also 3-2 ATS overall as its alternated covers, too. The Over has cashed in each of the last 3 for the Wildcats.

Oregon at Arizona picks and predictions
Prediction
Oregon 45, Arizona 34
Moneyline
Oregon (-475) will cost you nearly 5 times your potential return, and that’s just too risky for a road team in a conference battle.
PASS.
Against the spread
ARIZONA +13.5 (-110) is worth playing, only because Oregon has looked a lot different off-campus than at home. In 2 trips away from Eugene, the Ducks are 1-1 SU/0-2 ATS. They narrowly escaped The Palouse 2 weeks ago with a 44-41 win at Washington State as 6.5-point favorites.
Expect a win and a non-cover here, too, as Arizona has the horses to keep it close.
Over/Under
OVER 70.5 (-108) is a strong play, although it won’t be easy.
Oregon has scored 41 or more points in 4 straight outings, and there is no reason to believe it won’t be into that range again Saturday. However, the defense has been lacking for the Ducks. The Wildcats have scored 31 or more points in 3 straight games, cashing the Over in each. Expect a shootout in Tucson.
