Arizona Wildcats vs West Virginia Mountaineers Predictions

Arizona has the stronger recent form

Arizona Desert Swarm, a site covering Wildcats athletics, reports that Arizona enters Saturday's road game at 4-1 overall and 1-1 in the Big 12 after three straight wins. West Virginia is 3-2 overall, 0-2 in conference play and has lost two in a row. Those results make Arizona the likelier winner.

Why the wager is a pass

SPF lists Arizona as a 3.5-point favorite with a -175 moneyline. That price requires more support than the teams' records and winning streaks provide, particularly with Arizona playing on the road.

There is no confirmed information about starters, injuries or season performance beyond the records and recent results. That leaves too little evidence to back Arizona at -175 or ask the Wildcats to win by four points.
