Arizona vs Utah kickoff set for 5:30 p.m. MST on Fox with Utah favored

The Big 12 announced that Arizona football will host Utah at Casino Del Stadium with kickoff scheduled for 5:30 p.m. MST on Saturday, and the game will be televised on Fox, according to Yahoo Sports.

Utah opened as a 2.5-point favorite in the matchup, with the over/under set at 53.5 points, as reported by FanDuel Sportsbook and Yahoo Sports. The Utes come into the game with a 9-0 record after a recent rivalry win over BYU.

Arizona, with a 7-2 record, needs a victory to maintain its hopes for the Big 12 title game and the College Football Playoff. The Wildcats are hosting a top-3 ranked team for the first time since 2007, when they defeated No. 2 Oregon at home.

Arizona has won seven consecutive games at Casino Del Stadium and holds a 6-7 record against Utah since the Utes joined the Pac-12 in 2011. The Utes lead the all-time series 26-21. Utah ranks 13th nationally in scoring offense with 37.7 points per game and 12th in rushing with 215 yards per game.

This game is notable for Arizona fans as Utah's offense is highly efficient, a contrast to what they saw in previous years under coach Kyle Whittingham. Oddsmakers' small point spread suggests they believe Arizona could pull off an upset similar to past victories.
