Last week Arizona ran up a huge score against UTEP on a stand alone Friday night game where 67% of the cash and 71% of the tickets were on the over. Game went over with a final of 63-16. Arizona ran the ball on 70% of their downs.
On Saturday, Utah played in a late "bettor bail out" type game and they ran up the score against SJST with a final of 54-16 running the ball close to 60% of the time. In this game, 64% of the tickets, and 77% of the cash was on the over.
The "public" likes betting overs and they will repeat behavior which has been successful in the past, so this number should be slightly inflated;
Utah has a good run defense and they are averaging 50.2 points per game when they are favored (since the start of last year). Arizona's defense isn't great but isn't terrible. I think they can do enough to slow down the Utah offense and make them take 7 minutes on their scoring drives, and the fact that AZ is only a 3.5 point underdog tells me that they should at least be able to slow down Utah. I think this total should be around 56-57, maybe lower. The teams totaled 59 points when they played last year.
