After Arizona lost at Hawaii to open the season, despite closing as a double-digit favorite, there was a collective wonder as to how many other games the Wildcats would be favored in this season.
Turns out Texas Tech won’t be one of them.
The Wildcats are currently 2.5-point underdogs at home for Saturday’s game against the Red Raiders, which if it stays that way will be the ninth time Arizona has been a home dog since the start of the 2017 season. It would be just the second time since 2012 Arizona wasn’t favored at Arizona Stadium against a nonconference opponent, the other instance coming in September 2017 when Houston closed as a 2-point favorite.
