BYU vs Arizona Pick & Prediction - 10/11/2025
Updated July 9, 2026
BYU and Arizona will face off in Big 12 play on Saturday night in Tucson. BYU is undefeated for the season at 5-0 and they are ranked 18th in the country entering this contest. But the Cougars are only slight favorites against the 4-1 Wildcats. Here, I break down this big game in the Big 12 and give you my BYU vs Arizona prediction.
Betting Market | Odds |

Spread | BYU -2.5 |
Moneyline | BYU -140 / Arizona +120 |
Total Points | 46.5 |
BYU's Bear Bachmeier has 1,048 passing yards this season with seven touchdowns and just one interception. Arizona's Noah Fifita is also off to a good start this season with 13 touchdown passes and three interceptions. His ability to make plays both in the air and on the ground makes him a threat to even the best defense. The absence of BYU's star linebacker Jack Kelly could provide Fifita with more opportunities to exploit the Cougars defense.
This game will be an interesting battle, as Arizona's defense will look to slow down the explosive offense of BYU. I think this will be a tight game throughout, but that Arizona's defense will eventually win the day on their home turf. I'll take Arizona as a moneyline underdog in what should be a very entertaining contest from Tucson.
