Arizona opens as heavy underdog for home game vs. Washington

Fresh off their first shutout loss in nine years, the Arizona Wildcats will look to put the Colorado result in the rearview mirror when they host Washington Friday at 7:30 p.m. MST on ESPN2. Unsurprisingly, oddsmakers don’t like Arizona’s chances.

The UA (0-6, 0-3 Pac-12) has opened as a 15-point home underdog against the Huskies, according to Circa Sports, marking the second straight time the Wildcats haven’t been favored at Arizona Stadium. Arizona is a slightly smaller home underdog than they were a few weeks ago against UCLA, when oddsmakers had them +16 (Arizona failed to cover, losing 34-16).
