Iowa vs Arizona | Predictions

vs.

#9 Iowa @ #24 Arizona – 10:30 PM ET on ESPN

The Arizona Wildcats have snuck into the rankings, giving up 8 points in two games (2 on a safety) will get people attention no matter the competition. This game will test the Hawkeyes focus as they have a chance at a stellar season but can’t afford to dig holes in games like they did last year when they played from behind a lot despite the gaudy record. Arizona is rolling like they haven’t in more than a decade and their offense is better than people expect. I hope people will stay awake to watch this upset. Should be the best game of the night.
