Utah has a lot of work to do as -17 favorites but has the chops to run away with this conference matchup.

Let’s check the latest, stats, CFB championship, and injury reports for Arizona vs Utah. We’ve plenty of college football spreads for you to consider.
Arizona on a 1-4 Slide
Arizona is slowly discovering that scoring points is only one of many requirements for winning a football game. In what could just be a massive oversight, it seems this team forgot about how vital defense can be. Arizona ranks 125th in opponent scoring (38.7 PPG) and 124th in yards per game allowed (485).
On offense, things are going great. Caleb Williams went 31-for-45 with 411 yards and five touchdowns without his top two targets on the field. It was an impressive outing, but thanks to their awful defense, Arizona still lost 45-37. USC went off for 621 total yards and went 11-for-17 on third down.
Arizona is a prime example of why you need a well-rounded team and can’t just rely on a talented offense to get you by.
Utah Vying for Pac-12 Title
The Utes have a tough hill to cover this massive spread. But Utah is coming off a win over Washington State in Week 9 without starting quarterback Cam Rising and RB Tavion Thomas. Backup QB Bryson Barnes started in place of Rising and went 17-for-27 with 175 yards and a touchdown. With Rising and Thomas, Utah beat No. 7 USC in Week 8 and smoked No. 24 Oregon State by 28 points the week before.
The Utes don’t have an overwhelming offense but do rank in the top 30 in points per game, yards per game, and points per play. They convert third downs at a rate of 48.94% and fourth downs at 53.85%.
Combined with a top-50 scoring defense, Utah becomes a nightmare matchup for Arizona’sunderwhelming offense.
