Continue reading to find out which bet we like best in this Houston vs Arizona matchup.

Houston Looks to Continue Big 12 Turnaround

The Houston Cougars were 1-4 at one point this season, but they have won three of their last four games to get to 4-5 on the season. Included in those recent wins was a road win against a solid TCU team, as well as a home win over a very good Kansas State squad. Houston’s defense has held three of their last four opponents under 20 points and they certainly have it in them to make life tough on the Arizona offense as well on Friday night.

Arizona’s Season Falling Apart

Arizona has lost five straight games coming into this week’s Houston vs Arizona contest from Tucson. After a 3-1 start to the year, the Wildcats have been dreadful defensively, giving up 38 points per game to their last five opponents. If the Wildcats can’t figure out a way to get some stops, a disastrous first season in the Big 12 could continue to get worse.

Houston vs Arizona Prediction

There is very little justification for taking Arizona to cover any number going into Friday’s Houston vs Arizona matchup. Instead, we will go with the over in this game, as Arizona’s porous defense should give Houston more scoring chances than usual. Look for this game to exceed 45 points and for both teams to showcase some vulnerabilities on the defensive side of the football.
