Arizona at Utah odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Arizona at Utah odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Arizona Wildcats (3-5, 1-4 PAC-12) are set to take on the No. 12 Utah Utes (6-2, 4-1) on Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (PAC-12 TV). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Arizona vs. Utah odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Rankings courtesy of AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY sports.

The Wildcats have lost 3 straight games following a 45-37 loss to USC last week, though they covered as 14-point underdogs. Arizona is going to lean on its passing game, which is led by QB Jayden De Laura, who has 2,654 passing yards, 22 TD passes and 8 INTs.

The Utes are on a 2-game winning streak after taking down Washington State 21-17 last week despite not covering as 7-point favorites. Utah is No. 14 in the College Football Playoff rankings.

Arizona at Utah picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah 48, Arizona 27

Moneyline

I wouldn’t recommend taking the moneyline in this game, so just AVOID wagering on either team straight up. The Utes are massive favorites at home, but there’s a lot of risk in taking them straight up despite not getting much in return if they win.

Against the spread

The Utes are the far superior overall team, so UTAH -17.5 (-112) makes a lon of sense in this spot. Even though Utah has failed to cover the spread in 3 straight games, 2 of those games came against USC and UCLA while the other was a weird Thursday night game against Washington State.

The Utes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games against a team with a losing record. Also, the favorite between Arizona and Utah is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Over/Under

OVER 68.5 (-110) is a fun wager to make in this game as Utah should have no issues scoring against an Arizona team that allows 37.4 points per game. The Utes average 38.3 points per game themselves and the Wildcats should score enough late to help reach the Over.

The Over is 5-0-1 in Arizona’s last 6 games following a loss. Meanwhile, Utah has hit the Over in 4 of its last 5 games against a team with a losing road record.

Utah at Washington State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Utah at Washington State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 14 Utah Utes (5-2, 3-1 Pac-12) and the Washington State Cougars (4-3, 1-3) play Thursday at Martin Stadium in Pullman, Wash. Kickoff is scheduled for 10 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Utah vs. Washington State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Utes are coming off a thrilling 43-42 home win over USC as a 3.5-point underdog last time out on Oct. 15. It was a nice rebound game after suffering its first conference setback at UCLA on Oct. 8, 43-32. The Utah offense has scored 32 or more points in each of the past 6 outings.

The Cougars opened 3-0 but they’ve struggled lately, going 1-3 since that hot start, including a 24-10 loss at Martin Stadium against Oregon State last time out on Oct. 15. The point total set a season-low for the 2nd consecutive game as the Cougs are averaging just 12.0 PPG in the previous 2 contests.

Utah at Washington State picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah 33, Washington 18

Moneyline

Utah (-290) will cost you nearly 3 times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk, especially on the road.

PASS.

Against the spread

UTAH -7.5 (+100) is a decent play at even money, although laying 7 and a hook with a favorite isn’t optimal.

Still, back the Utes here. Washington State has really struggled, while Utah has been pedal to the metal on offense. The Utes are hoisting up an impressive 40.7 PPG, 11th in the nation, and the Cougars’ offense won’t be able to keep up.

Over/Under

UNDER 55.5 (-120) is a good play, but it comes with risk. Remember, the Utah offense has been piling up the points and yardage, but that risk is offset by the fact Washington State cannot get out of its own way lately on offense.

While all the trends point to the Over for Utah, it’s all about the Under for Washington State. The Under has cashed in 7 of the past 8 games overall for the Cougars while going 16-5 in their past 21 against teams with a winning overall record.

USC at Utah odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s USC at Utah odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The USC Trojans (6-0, 4-0 Pac-12) will face the Utah Utes (4-2, 2-1) on Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the USC vs. Utah odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Trojans have been rolling under new coach Lincoln Riley as they’ve already secured more wins this season than they’ve had since the 2019 season. QB Caleb Williams has been tremendous for USC thus far, throwing for 1,590 yards, 14 TDs, and only 1 INT while also rushing for 178 yards and another 3 TDs.

The Utes are coming off a 42-32 loss to UCLA last week, their 1st setback since Week 1 against Florida. Utah should have plenty of success running the ball with QB Cameron Rising and RB Tavion Thomas against USC’s weak run defense.

USC is No. 6 and Utah No. 19 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

USC at Utah picks and predictions

Prediction

USC 38, Utah 31

Moneyline

This should be an exciting Pac-12 matchup on Saturday night, but the Trojans will prove to be too much for the Utes. Give me an unbeaten USC (+155) squad that should be able to create more big plays on the road.

The Trojans have won 6 of the last 10 meetings against the Utes.

Against the spread

Considering that I have the Trojans winning outright, USC +3.5 (-108) is where I’ll be going in this game. While Utah should be able to gash USC on the ground, the Trojans have plenty of weapons themselves that are going to be tough to slow down.

The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between the Trojans and the Utes, which favors USC.

Over/Under

OVER 64.5 (-112) is a fun way to wager on this game as there should be plenty of fireworks from both offenses. The Trojans are averaging 40.2 points per game (12th most in the FBS) and Utah is averaging 33.8 points per game (27th in the FBS).

The Over has hit in Utah’s last 4 games against a team with a winning record and the Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between the Trojans and the Utes.

Utah at UCLA odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Utah at UCLA odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The 11th-ranked Utah Utes (4-1, 2-0 Pac-12) travel to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena to take on the No. 19 UCLA Bruins (5-0, 2-0) Saturday for a 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Utah vs. UCLA odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Since losing to Florida 29-26 to open the season, Utah has been running over opponents, including a 42-16 victory over Oregon State last Saturday. This avenged a loss the Utes suffered last season in Beaverton.

QB Cam Rising has been the man leading the charge for the Utes. The defense has also taken a step up in recent weeks which is needed as the they start the meat of their Pac-12 schedule.

Coach Chip Kelly’s Bruins claimed an impressive 40-32 home victory over then-No. 18 Washington last Friday. The win not only kept UCLA undefeated, but it knocked a main competitor to reach the conference title game. A victory Saturday over defending conference champion Utah would be another step forward for Kelly and the Bruins.

Utah at UCLA picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah 41, UCLA 38

Moneyline

PASS.

The line is slightly too high to make a play on this game.

Against the spread

LEAN UCLA +3.5 (-112).

This is going to be a close game. Utah is the better team despite the worse record. In recent weeks, both teams have been playing well. Both should continue to do the same this week. If one of these teams scores a blowout, it is likely to be Utah, but I do not see it. This will come down to the wire, and I lean toward UCLA +3.5 (-112) to cover.

Over/Under

BET OVER 64.5 (-110).

The Utah defense was able to hold Oregon State to 16 points last Saturday. QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson and RB Zach Charbonnet are different beasts entirely. While the UCLA defense will not stop Utah, the Utes defense will also have a tough time containing this Bruins duo.

This game will have a lot of back and forth and that means points. Both teams will hit 30 and one could hit 40.

The OVER 64.5 (-110) is my FAVORITE PLAY of this game.

Oregon State at Utah odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Oregon State at Utah odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Oregon State Beavers (3-1) head into Rice-Eccles Stadium to battle the Utah Utes (3-1) Saturday at 2 p.m. ET. (Pac-12 Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Oregon State vs. Utah odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

USC scored 40 or more points in their first 3 games, but Oregon State held them to only 17 in a 3-point loss last Saturday. If not for a last-minute TD pass from Trojans QB Caleb Williams to Jordan Addison, the Beavers would have pulled off the upset.

Utah has stormed back from their season opening 29-26 loss to Florida by crushing everyone since then. Their last game, a 35-7 victory over San Diego State, had a lot of extra action surrounding the game.

Both teams are extremely physical with big men on both sides of the trenches. This will be a hard-fought game. The winner will have an inside track at a place in the Pac-12 championship game.

Utah is No. 13 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Oregon State at Utah picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah 37 Oregon State 31

Money line

PASS. The line is too high to make a wager.

Against the spread

OREGON STATE +10.5 (-115) is the right side here.

Both these teams are physical. Oregon State has the best offensive line in the conference and potentially the country. Utah also has a stellar offensive line.

Both teams use the run game to set up the pass game. This will provide ample points on both sides.

Oregon State won this matchup 41-34 at home last season. This time, Utah should win. But they will not cover.

Over/Under

Take the OVER 54.5 (-115) to hit in the mountains.

This game hit 75 last season. It could get close again this season. The run game of Oregon is going to move the ball behind a great offensive line. The passing game of Utah will move the ball against the Oregon State defense. Although Oregon State has 2 NFL caliber CBs, Utah will still be able to score at home. This will lead the game to go Over as both teams play at a fast pace. The Over 54.5 (-115) is my favorite play of this game.

Utah at Arizona State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Utah at Arizona State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Utah Utes (2-1, 0-0 PAC-12) travel to take on the Arizona State Sun Devils (1-2, 0-0) Saturday. Kickoff from Sun Devil Stadium is set for 10:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Utah vs. Arizona State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Utes are coming off of a dominant 35-7 win against San Diego State, scoring 35 unanswered points until giving up a 4th quarter touchdown. QB Cameron Rising was 18-of-30 passing for 224 yards and 4 touchdowns. WR Brant Kuithe was the top receiver with 5 receptions for 64 yards and 1 TD while WR Devaughn Vele was the most efficient with 2 of his 3 receptions resulting in TDs.

The Utes rushed for 174 yards, 59 of which came from RB Tavion Thomas who also tacked on a TD. Utah forced 2 turnovers and held San Diego State to 173 yards.

Arizona State enters Saturday after losing 30-21 against Eastern Michigan last week. RB Xazavian Valladay led the way with 127 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries, while QB Emory Jones completed 20-of-32 passes for 182 yards and a TD. His top 2 targets were WR Elijhah Badger (7 receptions, 88 yards) and WR Andre Johnson (4, 29, 1 TD).

LB Kyle Soelle was the top defensive performer with 7 tackles and 11 assists, but the Sun Devils’ defense struggled overall, giving up 24 points before halftime and a whopping 305 yards on the ground.

Utah at Arizona State picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah 41, Oklahoma State 13

Money line

PASS.

Although Utah should easily handle the Sun Devils, the risk does not match the reward with a -750 ML.

Against the spread

Bet UTAH -15.5 (-108).

The Utes’ offense is fine-tuned after putting up more than 100 points combined in the last 2 weeks. They have had a chance to iron out the details of their offensive scheme and will look to continue that dominance against a slightly better Arizona State defense.

The Utes are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings between these teams. Furthermore, the Utes are 4-0 ATS after allowing fewer than 170 yards passing in their previous game. This team should be able to build off the momentum of last week.

Over/Under

Lean OVER 52.5 (-112).

Expect the Utah offense to continue its hot streak. The Over is 7-0 in the Utes last 7 road games, 6-1 in their last 7 played on grass, and 9-2 in their last 11 following an ATS win. When the Over hits, it will be thanks to the Utah offense and whether or not their defense concedes many points down the stretch.

San Diego State at Utah odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s San Diego State Aztecs at Utah Utes odds and lines, with NCAA expert picks and predictions.

The San Diego State Aztecs (1-1) and Utah Utes (1-1) battle in a 10 p.m. ET (ESPN2) contest at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Provo, Utah. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the San Diego State vs. Utah odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

San Diego State lost 38-20 to Arizona in Week 1 and then trounced FCS Idaho State 38-7 last Saturday. The run-first Aztecs totaled just 170 passing yards over the 2 games. However, SDSU’s 275.0 yards per game on the ground rank 4th in the nation.

After a Week 1 cliffhanger setback against Florida 29-26, the Utes rallied to decimate FCS Southern Utah 73-7 last week. Utah has averaged 522.0 total yards per game (10th FBS). Junior QB Cameron Rising has completed 70.9% of his passes through the team’s first 2 games.

San Diego State at Utah picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah 35, San Diego State 17

Money line

AVOID.

There’s too much juice filling the canyon between these prices.

Against the spread

This line started in the 16-to-16.5-point range in most of the market, and it has now swung far enough toward the Utes to make San Diego State a low-to-moderate lean.

Look for SDSU to put some drives together with its run game, especially late as Utah likely goes into rest mode (the Utes open Pac-12 play next week). The Aztecs have the special teams to cut into the Utes’ margin here and there.

SDSU has been woeful in converting 3rd downs (28%). Some regression to the mean goes a long way toward making this more of a 17-to-20-point game.

SAN DIEGO STATE +21.5 (-120) has moderate value.

Over/Under

The Over is 5-1 in the Aztecs’ last 6 non-conference games, it’s 4-0 in Utah’s last 4 non-conference games and it’s 9-1 in the Utes’ last 10 games following an ATS win.

And the Over is the play Saturday. Neither side has played at flank speed when it comes to cranking out a lot of plays in quick order. But look for Utah to control the game, get to a comfortable lead but one that leaks late.

TAKE THE OVER 48.5 (-105).

Southern Utah at Utah odds, picks, and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Southern Utah at Utah odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Southern Utah Thunderbirds (1-0) take on the Utah Utes (0-1) in Salt Lake City Saturday at 1:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Southern Utah vs. Utah odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Utah is No. 15 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports. The Utes are coming off a tough fought loss in Week 1 at the Florida Gators. Trailing most of the game, the Utes had a chance to win in the final seconds, but an interception on the 6-yard line thrown by QB Cameron Rising was the final play in a 29-26 loss.

Southern Utah posted a dominant 44-13 victory against FCS-member St. Thomas-Minnesota last week. Although St. Thomas was a powerhouse in Division III, which propelled it to skip Division II entirely and enter the FCS, it was still not up for the challenge against Southern Utah. But this Saturday will be an entirely different test for the Thunderbirds – they won’t be the better team here.

Utah looks to win its first game of the season and extend its home winning streak at Rice-Eccles Stadium to 9 games. Plus, the Utes own a 26-game home win streak against non-conference foes.

Southern Utah at Utah picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah 55 Southern Utah 13

Money line

With Utah such a huge favorite, the money line is off the board. If it is offered before kickoff, this should be a PASS.

Against the spread

SOUTHERN UTAH +44.5 (-112) is worth a small play.

Despite losing last week in “The Swamp,” Utah is still one of the top teams in college football. It is still a favorite to win the Pac-12.

Southern Utah is a middle of the road FCS team. The Thunderbirds are not at all a challenge in this one.

The only reason this is not a play on Utah is the fact it will be gearing up for its Sept. 17 home game with San Diego State.

After getting a comfortable lead against the T-birds, look for the Utes to rest players and get out of the game healthy. This one will not be close, but I can see the THUNDERBIRDS +44.5 (-112) with a backdoor cover.

Over/Under

BEST BET: OVER 58.5 (-105).

Even with Utah not taking Southern Utah seriously, the Utes will still score. A lot. Much like last week when North Carolina and Appalachian State went Over their O/U of 56.5, Utah could do the same here with this total. Even if the Utes come up a TD short, the Thunderbirds will score a few points, making this a great play.

Utah at Florida odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Utah at Florida odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 8 Utah Utes will be traveling across the country to take on the Florida Gators in Gainesville, Fla., at 7 p.m. ET. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN at ‘The Swamp’ – also known as Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Utah at Florida odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Utes and Gators have met only 1 other time in history, with the Gators claiming victory 38-29 in 1977.

The defending Pac-12 champions and preseason pick to repeat in 2022, the Utes are playing an SEC team for the first time since 2009. One of the fortunate teams in college football this year, they are bringing back just about every key player from their successful championship season last year.

They will have experience that the Gators do not and hope to use that to their advantage under head coach Kyle Whittingham.

The Gators will be trying to fend off the Utes with first-year head coach Billy Napier and many other new faces on both sides of the football. Finishing 6-7 overall last year and 2-6 in conference play, the Gators are hoping for a complete turnaround this year.

QB Anthony Richardson has first-round draft pick aspirations not only due to his arm, but his ability to run the ball, and this game will be a great chance to prove himself. His versatility could be the key to success for this Gators team.

Utah is No. 8 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Utah at Florida picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah 35, Florida 24

Money line

LEAN UTAH (-130).

Utah should win this game. Five Utes receivers are returning this season, and QB Cam Rising is fully healthy after having shoulder surgery over the offseason. This is a recipe for disaster for the Gators.

Utah was 6-3 last season as the ML favorite and will start this season off with another victory.

Against the spread

BET UTAH -2.5 (-108).

A rebuilding Gators team will be no match for the Pac-12 favorite. The Gators beat the spread only 3 times in 13 games last season while the Utes had 5 wins in 14 games.

This is a motivated Utes team that will be looking to prove to the rest of college football that they deserve a top-10 ranking.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 51.5 (-103).

Last year, the Utes and their opponents averaged 53.4 points per game while the Gators and their opponents averaged 59.

This is shaping up to be an offensive shootout, but the Gators will be unable to keep up with a high-powered Utes offense.

Utah at Colorado odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Utah Utes at Colorado Buffaloes odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets in a Pac-12 matchup.

The Utah Utes (9-15, 2-12 Pac-12) and Colorado Buffaloes (14-9, 6-7) clash in a Saturday conference battle in Boulder, Colo. The contest at the CU Events Center is slated to tip off at 8 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Utah vs. Colorado odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Utah is playing its first game since Feb. 5 when it lost at home to the Oregon Ducks 80-77, marking the team’s 11th loss in 12 games since Dec. 30. Over that 12-game stretch, Utah has scuffled in shooting the ball (44.1% on 2-point attempts) and in the exchange of turnovers. Utah has been a minus-3.5 in turnovers on average since Dec. 30.

The Buffaloes snapped a three-game skid with an 86-63 rout of Oregon State Feb 5. They, too, have been idle since. Colorado has sported one of the top defenses in the Pac-12 circuit this winter. The Buffs have held foes under 40% from the field in four of their last eight games.

Utah at Colorado odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Colorado 71, Utah 65

Money line

Utah excels in 3-point defense, but that’s not a big part of Colorado’s game. Shooting in and around the paint, rebounding, and free-throw rate are all factors that tilt enough into the Buffs’ column to make Colorado (-230) worth looking into.

The price is a bit expensive. Parlaying the Buffaloes with another play would be a better option, but focusing on the spread below is the way to go.

Against the spread

The Utes are 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games against teams with a winning home record. The Buffaloes are 3-0-1 ATS in their last four games as home favorites. The favorite is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings between Utah and Colorado.

TAKE THE BUFFALOES -4.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Not enough pull in any direction here. STEER CLEAR.
