Arizona at BYU

BYU handled Utah Tech at home without much trouble, winning 63-7 and coming in ranked in the top twenty, but that result came against an FCS opponent that offered no resistance. Arizona took care of its own business, beating Northern Arizona 35-7 in a game that saw the Wildcats control the ball for long stretches. Neither blowout tells me much on its own, but the shared thread is that both offenses have preferred methodical, clock-consuming drives over quick-strike scoring, and mid-range totals in spots like this have trended UNDER more often than Week 1's raw scoring suggests. BYU is the much better team and a heavy favorite here, which means a comfortable margin built on ball control rather than a shootout once the outcome is decided. Arizona's own approach mirrors that, favoring a grinding style that keeps the total in check. I expect a lower-possession, lower-scoring game than either side's opening line implies. I want the UNDER this afternoon.
