Arizona at California

Arizona has ugly number in the last few years but you can throw those out the window. Second-year head coach Jedd Fisch recruited so well that the Wildcats' Class of 2022 was ranked No. 1 in the Pac-12. And they've won two of three putting that dreadful 1-23 run in the rearview mirror. QB Jayden de Laura was the Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year in 2021 and has 6 TDs, 748 yards, in three games. Arizona was a 6-point underdog in the opener but won at San Diego State, 38-20. Last week, they were a dog to North Dakota State but won again, 31-28. California made the long trip to Notre Dame last week and lost 24-17. They also beat UNLV just 20-14 as a two-touchdown favorite. QB Jack Plummer has been sacked 12 times in three contests and the running game is averaging just 3.6 yards per rush. Cal is 69-97 ATS as a favorite, plus 27-47 ATS when the line is +3 to -3. Arizona won only one game a year ago...and it was over Cal, 10-3, as the Golden Bears had just 122 total yards of offense. Play Arizona.
