Arizona vs Stanford Prediction
The current betting odds have Arizona listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Arizona enters this game as a ranked team and they are one of the best teams in the country this season with the year they have been having. They are 22-3 overall and are one of the best teams in the PAC-12 with their 11-3 conference record. They have even been good in their road games this year with a 5-2 road record and they have won 7 games in a row now as they are getting hot again, winning a lot of their games lately by double digits. Stanford hasn't been a very good team all year with their losing 10-14 record overall and their 4-9 conference record too. They haven't even been that good at home with a 7-5 home record and they have lost a lot of steam lately losing 2 games in a row now after going on a hot run. Stanford isn't a good team and now that they have cooled off they will likely stay that way, especially with one of the best teams in the country coming into town here after they have already lost 2 games in a row. The best way to place a bet here is on Arizona to cover the spread in this game.
