Arizona vs. Utah Prediction, Picks & Odds: Week 5
We're once again celebrating the weekly ritual of whether Cam Rising will or won’t start at quarterback for Utah. However, I won’t take even a moment of your time attempting to parse out the details of his status, because it just doesn’t matter.
Our Arizona vs. Utah prediction envisions a decisive win for the Utes regardless of who they start at quarterback against a Wildcats team that hasn’t covered a spread yet this season.
This game serves to close out our college football Week 5 predictions.

Arizona comes into Saturday night with an 0-3 record against the spread so far this season. The Wildcats had the bye last week to sit around and stew on their poor showing on the road against Kansas State the game.
Ground and pound the ‘Cats
Arizona lost that game, 31-7, in Manhattan, mustering fewer than 60 rushing yards in the contest. That pales in comparison to Utah’s rushing attack, which will thrive regardless of Rising’s ability to suit up for this game.
The Utes have averaged over 200 rushing yards per game this season and face an Arizona defense that has surrendered an average of 223.0 rushing yards against FBS foes, a mark which ranks 112th nationally. There’s your mismatch.
Couple that with Arizona’s poor showing in their lone road game and you’ve got a long night for the Wildcats in Salt Lake City.
Since we’re seeing identical -110 odds across all of our best sports betting sites, make sure to get it where the best line is offered. That’s Utah -9 at both Caesars and bet365, which beats the -9.5 number at other shops.

Brant Kuithe 2+ touchdowns (+850) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
As crazy as it might seem to tab Utah’s senior tight end for multiple touchdowns, it’s a feat he’s already accomplished twice in four games this season.
Rising’s status has no bearing
After catching three touchdowns in the opener against Southern Utah, Brant Kuithe snared one through the air and added another on the ground out of the wildcat formation in last week’s win over Oklahoma State.
Rising’s absence from that game conceivably contributed to Kuithe’s goal line opportunity coming to fruition, so the QB’s status doesn’t really impact my thoughts on this prop. If you’d like to play it safer, find the +120 odds on a Kuithe anytime TD at DraftKings or Caesars, but the two-touchdown angle for this clear red-zone threat is juicy.
Make sure to grab this one at DraftKings to benefit from +850 odds, a strong boost relative to the +700 odds offered on this prop at Caesars and BetMGM.
Best odds: +850 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 10.53%
