Arizona at Stanford picks and predictions
Prediction
Arizona 88, Stanford 75
Moneyline
PASS.
The Wildcats are among the best teams in the country, while the Cardinal are certainly not. Arizona shouldn't lose despite being on the road and isn't worth backing as a strong favorite.
Against the spread
BET ARIZONA -12.5 (+104).
The Wildcats have been unstoppable this season and have covered in every game in which it has been a double-digit favorite. They are 6-0 ATS in those battles and are 2-0 ATS in true road games. They are also 1-0 ATS in conference play.
While Stanford does have some depth on the offensive end, it has failed to cover 2 of its last 6 and is 0-1 ATS in conference play. It has allowed 76 or more in each of its 3 games against Power 5 sides. With a Wildcats offense far more electric than most the Cardinal have faced, Stanford will struggle to contain them.
Back ARIZONA -12.5 (+104).

Over/Under
LEAN OVER 161.5 (-115).
Stanford has a variety of options on the offensive end with 4 players averaging double figures this season so it should have a chance to put up points on Arizona. The Cardinal are 7-3-1 O/U this season and 6-0-1 O/U at home.
The Wildcats are 6-6 O/U, but have gone Over in 4 of their last 6 games. They have scored 84-plus points in each their last 5 games and topped 95 points in 3 of those 5. Expect a high-scoring battle as that's the strength for both sides.
Back OVER 161.5 (-110).
