Arizona has run into a little trouble in Big 12 play with two losses in its last three games, with its one win in between coming at home against Oklahoma State as 20.5-point favorites. With losses at home to BYU last week and at Iowa State, where they lost 39-14, it suggests to me that this road game may be difficult for Arizona. Houston is 5-1 this season, with their only loss coming against a powerhouse in Texas Tech. Both teams have covered four games each. Connor Weigman, the transfer from Texas A&M, was outstanding in his last game, completing 70% for 306 yards and two touchdowns. Weigman is going to be the difference maker for Houston at home. Houston to cover.

The ONLY reason I'm betting this game is because of the extremely fishy line. Yes, I'm a graduate of Arizona and a long time season-ticket holder for the football team. Last week, I suffered through 5+ hours including a lengthy lightening delay only to watch my team collapse at the end vs. BYU. Against a 5-1 Houston team on Saturday, they should be at least 3.5-point underdogs as I see it. But the line has moved a lot and the Wildcats are favorites now? Somebody knows something and that means I'm all in. Arizona 26, Houston 23.
