Week 12 SEC Picks and College Football Best Bets
By Evan Ertel
No. 22 Utah @ No. 17 Arizona (-1.5) (O/U 44.5)
Evan: Boy, am I glad they came to Starkville in September before Jedd Fisch figured it out. That said, Utah is still a defensive wagon. Utes have been playing their brand of football longer than the Wildcats have. Utah +1.5
Justin: It’s kinda hard to believe Mississippi State beat this Arizona team. I think the Wildcats keep it rolling. Arizona -1.5
Andrew: the job Kyle Whittingham has done this year keeping this Utah team competitive despite their injuries is impressive. But right now Arizona is just playing better football. Arizona -1.5
Ethan: I tried telling y’all that Arizona is good. They’re really, really good. Also, it’s a good thing MSU got the Wildcats when they did because the Bulldogs still seemed competent at that point in the season (shoutout to Mike Leach and his staff for building a competent roster) and it was well before things fell apart. Arizona -1.5
Ryan: Arizona is playing some great football right now. One of the hottest teams in the country. I don’t think it’s a blowout by any means but I think Arizona keeps it going by winning by a field goal. Arizona -1.5
John: Arizona has been a great story this year. But Utah is maybe the only team in the Pac-12 that plays defense. Can the Wildcats keep up their offensive performance? I don’t think so. Utah +1.5
