Arizona vs BYU Prediction, Odds & Picks – 10/12/2024

The Arizona Wildcats will take on the BYU Cougars on October 12, 2024, with the Wildcats listed as five-point underdogs according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Currently, 40% of spread bets are in favor of the Wildcats, while 60% are backing the Cougars. The total is set at 49.5, with no clear consensus as of yet on whether the final score will go over or under. This Arizona vs BYU matchup is shaping up to be an exciting and closely contested game. Here, we preview this significant showdown from Provo, UT.

Arizona Trending In the Wrong Direction

The Arizona Wildcats are 3-2 this season and 1-1 in Big 12 play (their loss to Kansas State was not counted as a conference loss). Arizona has lost two of its last three games, losing to K-State and Texas Tech with a win over Utah in between those games. But even their win over Utah was arguably more a product of Cam Rising's injury absence than anything else, as Arizona's defense has struggled to play to that standard at any other point this season. Here, it will be the offense of the Wildcats that is tested the most, as they need to find success through more than just chucking the ball to star wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan to win this game.

BYU Still Perfect On the Season

The BYU Cougars are undefeated at 5-0 going into Saturday's Arizona vs BYU matchup from Provo. The Cougars are ranked 14th in the country going into this matchup, with impressive wins over Kansas State and SMU under their belts already. In their two home games this year, the Cougars have allowed just 11 points per game, including a performance where they allowed just nine points to K-State. Their top priority will be stopping McMillan and the passing attack of the Wildcats in this Big 12 contest.

Arizona vs BYU Betting Pick

We will back the BYU Cougars to continue rolling in this Arizona vs BYU matchup. BYU has proven that its defense is legitimately tough to break down at home this year. That should continue to be the case against an Arizona team that has yet to prove that it can notch a win against a single quality team at full strength so far this season.
