Randy’s Pick
I have backed Utah time and time again over the years as they're extremely well coached, don't beat themselves and they're solid defensively. However, it feels like we're getting the hotter team at home and free points. The Arizona Wildcats have won 4 straight games overall, the defense has come along, and that offense is still a top-30 unit. Arizona has three wins over ranked teams over the last month. How can I turn down free points here? Give me Arizona and the ML for more profit.
