UT Arlington at Arizona picks and predictions
Prediction
Arizona 97, UT Arlington 68
Moneyline
PASS.
You should avoid betting Arizona (-20000) because the odds are outrageous. Just look to the spread and total if you want to make a bet.
Against the spread
BET ARIZONA -27.5 (-105).
I just can't fight it anymore, this team is really good. I thought it would need time to mesh, but it is playing like a team that's been together for a couple years now.
Besides its tight win over Duke, which it won outright as a 4-point underdog, it has thoroughly thrashed every opponent it has played thus far. Its average margin of victory is 34.5 points through 4 games this season.

Over/Under
BET OVER 154.5 (-114).
I feel like this total is way too low. You've already read about all the points that Arizona is putting up this season.
While UT Arlington is not on its level when it comes to scoring, it puts up a respectable 77.5 PPG. Its pace of play is slower, but Arizona will force the action up the court.
