WILDCATS: (-16, O/U 60.5) Optimism is high in Arizona, as people around the college think this team can compete for a Pac-10 championship. The Wildcats are expected to have a dynamic offense this year, both on the ground and through the air. QB Nick Foles is the face of this program, as he has a full training camp under his belt. Despite skepticism last year, Foles threw for 2,486 YDS last season. Foles is expected to be amongst the best QB's not only in the Pac-10, but also the entire country. The ground game is led by dynamic RB Nic Grigsby, as he led a group of RB's that ran for nearly 1,800 YDS last season. Arizona will only go as far as their defense takes them, and there is uncertainty with this unit. Arizona doesn't have the defense it's had in the past, and is replacing 7 starters this season. The Wildcats have struggled in the past on the road, as they are only 2-7 ATS in their past 9 road games overall.
Projected Score: 34
Wildcats are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 non-conference games.
Under is 6-1 in Wildcats last 7 games overall.
ROCKETS: Toledo is saying all the right things, as they are in the process of rebuilding their team and forming a new identity. Head Coach Tim Beckman is entering his 2nd year with the Rockets, and he's focused on winning the battle of the lines. Beckman is happy with the state of his offensive lineman, so he is really focusing on the state of his defensive line. The good news for Beckman is that he returns nearly his entire team defensively from last season. Offensively, Toledo is known for a pass happy offense that enjoys lighting up the scoreboard. This season is expected to be a bit different, as the Rockets are breaking in a new QB. A few different QB's are trying to earn the starting spot, and whoever wins the battle is likely to throw often to WR Eric Page. The Rockets are looking for some help from their crowd tonight, as they take on a very good Arizona team. Tonight's game is the only home game in September for the Rockets.

Rockets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Boston is +1.14 and -1.03 units both SU and on the RL respectively this year. Pitcher Clay Buchholz will make the home start tonight, as he is 15-5 with an ERA of 2.21 and a WHIP of 1.18 this season.
