Utah vs. Arizona Prediction: Week 11 Odds, Picks & Best Bet (Nov. 14)
Big 12 after dark features one of the country's final remaining undefeated teams on the road against a top-30 scoring offense as I make my Utah vs. Arizona prediction.
Devon Dampier leads No. 2 Utah against Noah Fifita and No. 23 Arizona Saturday. Expect both quarterbacks to create some explosive plays in the desert. Utah is a 2.5-point betting favorite, with kickoff from Casino Del Sol Stadium in Tucson, Ariz., set for 7:30 p.m. ET (FOX).

Utah vs. Arizona prediction & best bet

Utah -2.5 (-110 via FanDuel)
Utah is dealing with a few key injuries to its roster, including RB1 Wayshawn Parker, who is questionable for this game. That shouldn't have a big impact on the Utes' offense, as Dampier has been a dynamic force as a ball carrier and passer, coming off a 4-touchdown performance in a comeback win over BYU, including a pair of rushing touchdowns.
Fifita has been the motor driving Arizona's offense. The Wildcats' passing attack has logged over 300 passing yards in four straight contests. However, Utah has allowed only one passing touchdown in its previous three contests, giving up a stingy 51 percent completion rate.
The Utes have battled turnover miscues on offense, but their defense continues to bail them out, forcing six turnovers in back-to-back appearances. Arizona doesn't commit many turnovers on offense; however, its inability to pass the football will be an issue.
Utah's offense and defense are both superior to Arizona's units. Dampier is an electric, dual-threat quarterback, by far the best player on the field, giving a decisive edge to the Utes.
Go to FanDuel and bet on Utah -2.5 at -110 odds.
📡 SBR Edge: Absent Arizona Defense
Arizona's defense has allowed 28 or more points in three of its past four contests.
Dampier shines to keep Utah undefeated
Utah's offense runs through Dampier. He's accounted for five passing touchdowns and four rushing touchdowns in his previous three appearances for the Utes and should fare well against an Arizona defense that has allowed multiple rushing touchdowns in three of its past four contests.
The Utes are a sound defensive football team. They've also battled adversity in their biggest games, mounting late comebacks against No. 14 Houston and No. 12 BYU to remain unbeaten. Utah does it again in a hostile road environment.
Play to: Utah -3.5
Score prediction: Utah 31, Arizona 20

Utah vs. Arizona weather
The forecast for opening kickoff at Casino Del Sol Stadium in Tucson, Ariz., Saturday night calls for 65 degrees, 8-mph winds, and a 10% chance of precipitation. Partly cloudy skies and a mild threat of rain, along with light winds, mean weather shouldn't have a big impact on this game.
