My best Arizona vs. Washington State prediction focuses on Washington State's inability to move the ball this season. Washington State has scored just 17 points against FBS teams this season, and I don't believe the offense will get right against a defense allowing just 17.3 points per game.

Arizona is favored by 10.5 points ahead of tonight's 7:30 p.m. ET game at Martin Stadium in Pullman, Wash. The game will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+.

Arizona -10.5 (-105 via bet365)

Washington State ranks 124th in total offense, and the Arizona defense poses a matchup nightmare. Washington State is a run-first team. The Cougars rank 132nd in passing yards per game and 59th in rushing yards per game. Unfortunately for Washington State, Arizona has a great run defense, ranking 16th in the nation.

While some may feel Washington State's passing attack will finally get going against Arizona's 89th-ranked pass defense, I don't think quarterback Caden Pinnick can make it happen. Against FBS competition, he's completed just 55.5% of his passes, while throwing zero touchdowns and two interceptions. In those two games, he managed only 207 passing yards.

📡 SBR Edge

Arizona ranks seventh in third-down conversions this season, while Washington State's defense ranks 80th.

A balanced Arizona attack will make the difference

Noah Fifita has thrown for 834 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception this season. And while Arizona has definitely had more success through the air than on the ground, the Wildcats have only passed 14 more times than they've run thus far. This matters heading into this matchup, as Washington State has the 117th-ranked rushing defense in the nation. 

While Arizona is averaging just 4.02 yards per carry, leading rusher Kedrick Reescano is averaging 4.3 yards per carry against unranked teams. Additionally, Washington State allows 5.38 yards per carry, ranking 130th in the nation.

Score prediction: Arizona 34 Washington State 17
