Arizona Wildcats vs SMU Mustangs Point Spread Picks

The Holiday Bowl figures to come down to passing attacks. SMU has the No. 11 passing offense at 283.5 yards per game, propelled by Kevin Jennings’ 3,363 yards and 26 touchdowns. Arizona's Noah Fifita threw for 2,963 passing yards, while accounting for 29 touchdowns and only five interceptions. Jennings can go hot and cold. He's also facing the nation's fourth-ranked pass defense. Arizona has held its last eight opponents below 200 passing yards. The Wildcats have only surrendered nine passing touchdowns all season. SMU's secondary is not of that caliber. The Mustangs have also experienced kicking woes that have cost them three games. Arizona is on a five-game winning streak.
