Arizona schools this weekend

Unless Arizona State is a total bust, they should be able to easily cover at Utah this week. Utah knows it must win to stay alive in the Pac 12 South race. Arizona State has a trip to Eugene to face Oregon next week. Those are the only two reasons I can think of as to why the line is so low.

Arizona at Oregon State is a different problem. Both teams are terrible. This is a bad spot ATS on the technical side for Arizona, as they are 0-8 away after scoring 35 or more points, 1-5 after the USC game, and 2-5 in their last 7 in Corvallas. Things are not much better for Oregon State, who is 0-6 off a Double Diget loss vs an opponent who is off a S/U loss. Both of these teams have lost 4 games, and a loss here most likely ends the losers season, as far as a bowl bid is concerned. I would pass on this game.

I've done a write up on Arizona St. for this week. Check it out for a bit more in depth information as far as what will go on this week.

To me, Arizona at Oregon State is the best play of the week. I had another thread about this as well - but this Arizona team has a top-3 QB in Nick Foles and is playing better every week, at least on offense.

Oregon State could legitimately go 0-11 this year. Arizona all the way.

I believe both teams should cover. Utah is extremely over rates after the last few season when they did deserve lines like this. ASU is a very good team and I don't think there is any way Utah's horrible offense can keep up with ASU's.

Zona is bad, but OSU is on a whole nother level of horribleness. Arizona's D should be able to keep State from getting on the board too many times.

Agreed. I LOVE Arizona in this spot. OSU finally covered against the spread last week at Arizona St, but that was thanks to several ASU turnovers. Zona wins this one by double digits.

Both teams should cover, im betting 2u on each, everyone here has been right and cited all the facts. ASU has had a nice defense and a decent offense, I feel their D will be more than enough to rattle the new QB, while Zona has had a good team all year they just keep playing upper echelon teams week after week and you'd be hard pressed to find any team outside of the top 5 that would have come out of that stretch with a winning record. Look for both teams to crush, the Zona game might be tight but the spread allows for this (1.5) I still see them coming out on top, Foles is a beast and I dont think the ORST offense can keep up. While even if Utah's D plays well in that game, their O is going to struggle to put up 2+touchdowns, ASU should win even with a sub-par offensive performance

The line has moved to +6 Utah... I think I might take Utah here, the game means a lot more to them + ASU has a way of messing up when it really matters.

Arizona over OSU - I've said it before, I'll say it again - this seems to be one of the best lines I have seen all season.
