Arizona On Five-Game Win Streak

The Wildcats opened with a 35-7 non-conference win over Northern Arizona, only to fall 28-17 to the Cougars in their Big 12 opener a week later.
They rebounded a week later with a 42-17 victory against Northern Illinois, and followed that up with a third non-conference success as they downed Washington State, 34-24.
Arizona then transferred that form over to Big 12 duty as they blew out Cincinnati 34-7.
The Wildcats backed that up with a 52-31 success at West Virginia, before returning home for a 39-3 blowout of Iowa State.
Texas Tech Suffered First Loss Last Weekend
Texas Tech enter this matchup looking to rebound from their first loss of the season, which dropped them to 6-1.
The Red Raiders kicked off the campaign with non-conference victories over Abilene Christian, 33-10, and Oregon State, 35-24.
They followed that up with a 28-26 success against Houston in their Big 12 opener, before returning to non-conference action with a 49-14 blowout of Sam Houston.
Texas Tech returned to Big 12 duty after that and followed up a 29-7 win in Colorado with a 53-25 victory over Arizona State.
The Red Raiders failed to make it to 7-0 though, as they were beaten 37-24 at Cincinnati last time out.
Verdict
Texas Tech will not be pressing the panic button and we do expect a response here.
However, Arizona’s in-form offense, led by an accurate quarterback, make them an appealing pick with the free points.
