UCLA Bruins vs. Arizona Wildcats Predictions
The Bruins, currently ranked 19th, have been performing well this season, with their defense ranking in the top 10 in multiple categories. They lead the FBS in rushing defense, allowing just 63.1 yards per game, and have held three opponents under 30 yards. However, their offense will need to step up against an Arizona team that has been performing well against ranked opponents.
On the other side, the Wildcats, under the leadership of coach Jedd Fisch, have shown significant improvement this season. They have managed to secure wins over AP Top 25 teams in their last two games, marking their first consecutive wins over ranked opponents since 2014. Their quarterback, Noah Fifita, has been stellar, throwing for 1,221 yards and eight touchdowns with three interceptions while completing 76% of his passes in four starts.
The key matchup to watch in this game will be UCLA’s top-ranked rushing defense against Arizona’s potent offense led by Fifita. If the Bruins can limit Fifita’s impact and control the pace of the game, they could secure a crucial win. However, if Fifita and the Wildcats’ offense can break through UCLA’s defense, they could pull off an upset and further boost their impressive season.
UCLA Bruins vs. Arizona Wildcats Pick
The Arizona Wildcats have been performing exceptionally well this season, especially against ranked opponents. They have managed to secure wins over AP Top 25 teams in their last two games, marking their first consecutive wins over ranked opponents since 2014. Their quarterback, Noah Fifita, has been stellar, throwing for 1,221 yards and eight touchdowns with three interceptions while completing 76% of his passes in four starts. This offensive prowess, combined with their recent momentum, makes them a strong contender in this matchup.
On the other hand, while the UCLA Bruins have a strong defense, their offense will need to step up against an Arizona team that has been performing well. The key matchup to watch in this game will be UCLA’s top-ranked rushing defense against Arizona’s potent offense led by Fifita. If the Bruins can limit Fifita’s impact and control the pace of the game, they could secure a crucial win. However, given Arizona’s recent performance and Fifita’s form, it seems more likely that the Wildcats will be able to break through UCLA’s defense and cover the spread.
The Pick: Arizona Wildcats +2.5 (Bet365)
