Arizona vs Colorado Prediction and Odds (Take Wildcats In Low-Scoring Game)

The 25-2 #2 Arizona Wildcats beat Colorado 76-55 last month and aim for a season-sweep when they take on the 18-10 Buffaloes tonight at 6:00 PM MST.

Arizona has won nine in a row but covered the spread just four times in that stretch while Colorado has won five of their last six but got bludgeoned by Arizona State in their last game. Will the Buffaloes bounce back in an important game for their NCAA Tournament hopes or does value lie with the Wildcats to stay hot?

Arizona vs Colorado Prediction and Pick

I know it's Colorado's Senior Night and a strong performance would go a long way for their tournament hopes, but I just don't believe in this Buffaloes squad. They turn the ball over on more than 20% of their possessions and rank just 231st nationally in 2-point shooting percentage. Arizona has the best 2-point defense in the country and I don't see how Colorado can score in this one.

The Buffaloes have been playing well lately, but the Wildcats are just too good. Arizona is 7-2-1 against the spread (ATS) over their last 10 road games, including covering in three straight.

Colorado, meanwhile, has struggled against good teams all year. They're a pitiful 2-6 ATS over their last eight as an underdog and 1-4-1 ATS in their last six at home. I love Arizona to cover the double-digit spread today but the total is also presenting value.

With the offensive ineptitude of the Buffaloes, the under is 8-1 in their games as an underdog. I don't see how they score enough to push this total over 152.5 and their defense should be able to slow Arizona down a bit. Only 131 points were scored in the first matchup and I think we'll see a similar type of game play out.

Pick: Arizona -10.5 (-110) and under 152.5 (-110)
