Arizona Wildcats vs. Arizona State Sun Devils Predictions

The Wildcats enter the game with a strong offensive presence, ranking 10th in points and 8th in rebounds nationally, showcasing their ability to dominate on the scoreboard and the glass. Led by guard Caleb Love, averaging 19.4 points per game, and center Oumar Ballo, who’s been a double-double machine with 10.0 rebounds per game, Arizona’s offense is a force to be reckoned with. Their recent performance has been marked by a 1-game winning streak, and they’ll look to extend that momentum against their state rivals.

Arizona State, on the other hand, has had a season of ups and downs, reflected in their .500 home win percentage. The Sun Devils will rely heavily on guard Frankie Collins, who leads the team with 13.8 points per game, to spark their offense. Despite their struggles, they’ve shown they can compete, especially at home with a 10-4 record, and will aim to leverage their home-court advantage. Defensively, both teams will need to be at their best, with Arizona State looking to disrupt Arizona’s high-powered offense that’s third in average points and fourth in assists.

This matchup also features a clash of contrasting styles, with Arizona’s efficient field goal percentage and Arizona State’s need to create chaos on defense to fuel their offense. The game could hinge on key player matchups, particularly the battle in the paint between Arizona’s Ballo and Arizona State’s frontcourt. With both teams coming into this game on a winning note, it will be interesting to see which side can impose their will and walk away with a crucial conference victory.

Arizona Wildcats vs. Arizona State Sun Devils Pick

The Arizona Wildcats come into this game with a strong offensive presence, ranking 10th in points and 8th in rebounds nationally, which gives them a significant edge over the Arizona State Sun Devils. With a moneyline bet of -670 at BetRivers, the Wildcats are the clear favorites. Their ability to score and control the boards, led by Caleb Love and Oumar Ballo, has been a consistent factor in their success this season. Furthermore, Arizona’s ATS record of 17-10 shows their reliability in covering spreads, which translates well into their moneyline performance. The Wildcats’ 5-3 road record also indicates their capability to handle the pressure of away games, which is crucial in this matchup.

On the other side, Arizona State’s overall record of 14-14 and a less impressive ATS record of 13-15 suggest they might struggle against a team with Arizona’s offensive firepower. Despite the Sun Devils’ decent home record of 10-4, they face a Wildcats team that is third in average points and fourth in assists, indicating a high level of offensive efficiency that Arizona State may not be able to match. Considering these factors, along with the Wildcats’ current momentum from their recent win, the smart money is on Arizona to continue their dominance and secure a victory in this Pac-12 showdown.

The Pick: Arizona Wildcats -670 (BetRivers)
