BYU has been one of the most surprising teams in the nation to begin the 2025 season.

While most wrote off the Cougars (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) after losing quarterback Jake Retzlaff over the summer, coach Kilane Sitake's team is off to a hot start as one of just four teams that remain unblemished in Big 12 play. Their unbeaten start will be put to the test on Saturday night, however, when they hit the road to face Arizona (4-2, 1-1 Big 12).

It's been a bit of a mixed bag for the Wildcats so far. They're clearly improved from a year ago, beating Kansas State in what was technically a non-conference game and blowing out Oklahoma State, but they lost big to Iowa State a couple of weeks ago. Now, Arizona gets another crack at a ranked opponent.

Arizona vs. BYU prediction, pick:

BYU has impressed so far this year, but this is an interesting matchup in a lot of ways. True freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeier will be going up against what has, surprisingly, been one of the best defenses in college football this season.

However, Arizona's offense continues to lag behind. That's certainly concerning, given that the Cougar defense has arguably been a top-35-ish unit in its own right. This is a tight line, likely in large part because it's in Tucson. I think the Wildcats can keep it close, but I would take BYU to win and cover.

Prediction: BYU 31, Arizona 23

Best Bet: BYU -1.5, Over 47.5
