It’s been a bad last two games for the Arizona Wildcats, losing by 27 at USC after falling to Washington by 24 at home the week before. And with a second consecutive road game on the horizon, things could get even worse.
But apparently Vegas doesn’t think so.
Arizona (4-3, 2-2 Pac-12) has opened as surprising 3-point favorite for Saturday’s game against the Stanford Cardinal (3-4, 2-3) in Palo Alto, Calif., according to VegasInsider.com. The line has as much to do with Stanford, which was blown out 34-16 at home by UCLA on Thursday and has an even more uncertain quarterback situation than Arizona, as it does with any confidence in the Wildcats’ play.
