Northern Arizona at Arizona Picks and Predictions

Prediction

Arizona 52, Northern Arizona 10

Moneyline

The Lumberjacks have defeated Arizona just twice in their 18 meetings since 1931. This is a classic regional payday game for NAU, an FCS team in the Big Sky, which plays home games in a stadium that seats just over 7,000.

Arizona won 38-3 last year.

PASSAGE.

Against the spread

The last game was won by Arizona by 35 points, but if that were to happen this weekend, it would mean a victory for NAU.

Arizona’s offense crushed New Mexico, while QB Noah Fifita passed for 422 yards and 4 TDs. WR Tetairoa McMillan caught 10 passes for 304 of those yards and all 4 scores.

If they do that against an FBS team, how bad will it be on Saturday?

BET ON ARIZONA -35.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Arizona scored 61 points last week. Scoring 50 points seems like a sure thing this weekend. The question is whether NAU can get 2 scores. The Lumberjacks scored 66 points last week, so maybe they can get at least 10 points.

BET ON OVER 61.5 (-110).
