It’s Homecoming this week for the Arizona Wildcats, but Vegas doesn’t really care about that. The sharps only worry about the numbers, not the pomp and circumstance.
Thus, Arizona has been installed as a major underdog for the Oct. 27 home game against the Oregon Ducks. How big? The opening line, per VegasInsider, is 20.5 points.
Yes, you read that right.
That spread is the largest for Arizona as a home underdog since September 2006, when it was a 21-point dog at home against USC. The Wildcats lost that game, 20-3, but managed to cover.
