Arizona 52, Northern Arizona 10

Moneyline

The Lumberjacks have only beaten Arizona twice in their 18 meetings, dating back to 1931. This is a classic regional payday game for NAU, an FCS team in the Big Sky, plays home games in a stadium that holds a little more than 7,000 people.

Arizona won 38-3 last year.

PASS.

Against the spread

The last matchup was a 35-point win by Arizona, but if that were to happen this weekend, it would be an NAU cover.

Arizona’s offense torched New Mexico, as QB Noah Fifita passed for 422 yards and 4 TDs. WR Tetairoa McMillan hauled in 10 passes for 304 of those yards and all 4 scores.

If they did that against an FBS team, how bad will it be Saturday?

BET ARIZONA -35.5 (-110). 

Over/Under

Arizona scored 61 points last week. Scoring 50 seems like a lock this weekend. The question is whether NAU can get 2 scores. The Lumberjacks did put up 66 points last week, so maybe they can get to at least 10 points.

BET OVER 61.5 (-110).
