A season-opening 3-score win wasn’t enough for oddsmakers to make the Arizona Wildcats favorites for their home opener on Saturday night.
Arizona has opened as an 8-point-underdog against Mississippi State, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. The over/under has opened at 61 points.
This is the first home nonconference game that Arizona has been an underdog since Texas Tech visited in September 2019, according to Oddshark.com. The Wildcats were 2-point underdogs against the Red Raiders and won 28-14.
In its last 10 games as a home underdog, Arizona is 5-5 against the spread (ATS) and 2-8 overall.
