The Arizona Wildcats have split their first two nonconference games, easily beating NAU at home and then falling at Mississippi State in overtime. The final pre-conference tune-up is UTEP, which is 1-2 and is coming off a 31-point loss at Northwestern.
According to DraftKings Sportsbook, Arizona is an 18-point favorite. Who takes this matchup? Here’s what our staff thinks.
Kim Doss — Arizona wins 52-7
Arizona showed a much-improved defense last week. Against UTEP, a merely mediocre defense would probably be enough. The Miners have already played three games, and have only scored more than seven points once.
