The current betting odds have Arizona listed as a 16.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Arizona has looked great in their games this season with their 14-4 record overall which has them ranked inside the top 25 teams in the country. They have also looked great in their conference games with their 5-2 conference record which is leading the Pac-12. They are only 2-2 in their road games this year but this is going to be one of their weakest opponents to face on the road this season. Meanwhile, Oregon State has looked terrible in their games this year with their 9-9 record overall and their 1-6 conference record which has them right at the bottom of the Pac-12. They are 9-2 in their home games as they have looked a lot better in those but a good majority of those wins came in non-conference games too. Oregon State is a team that has only been able to win games on their home court this season and they are by far the worst team in the Pac-12 this year. Arizona is the best team in the conference right now and this is a game where they need to show why they are ranked by blowing out one of the worst teams in their conference and picking up a nice road win. The best way to place a bet here is on Arizona to cover the spread in this game.

You don’t not necessarily want your team to be in that position, but when you’re in that position you've got to take advantage of it and our guys did today. I think it was a great experience.” - Tommy Lloyd after his team’s win against UCLA in their last game on Saturday.
