Arizona Has Hit An ATS Skid
The Wildcats have been cruising through their Pac-12 schedule in January thus far with a 3-0 SU record and an average margin of victory of 18.3 points per game. But as one of the nation’s top teams, Arizona has had some lofty spreads attached to its games, resulting in a 1-2 ATS record over those three games and a 1-4-1 ATS record over the team’s last six games. Arizona had opened the season with an 8-1 ATS record through its first nine games.
Azuolas Tubelis scored a career-high 32 points and also recorded eight rebounds and five assists in Arizona’s 82-64 win over the Utah Utes on Saturday. Tubelis’ 15.9 points per game ranks second on the team behind Bennedict Mathurin’s 18 points per game. The duo leads a Wildcats offense that ranks No. 3 in the nation in scoring, averaging 88.5 points per game.
Stanford Is Undefeated At Home
The Cardinal had a four-game winning streak snapped in Saturday’s 67-64 loss to the Washington Huskies. Stanford appeared to be on its way to a blowout loss on the road, trailing 43-25 at the half, but a second-half surge made the game competitive before the Cardinal fell just short of completing the comeback. With the loss as 1-point underdogs, the Cardinal fell to 1-4 SU and 1-3-1 ATS on the road in 2021-22.
Stanford returns home to face Arizona with a 7-0 SU and 3-4 ATS record at Maples Pavilion. Included in those seven wins is a 75-69 upset over the then-undefeated USC Trojans last week. The Cardinals were a 7-point underdog in that game and were led to an upset by Harrison Ingram, who recorded 21 points and 10 rebounds. Any Wildcats vs Cardinal prediction in Stanford’s favor on Thursday will be relying on Stanford’s home court to play a major factor.
Wildcats vs Cardinal Pick & Insights
Wildcats: Keys To Cover
The Wildcats have bounced back nicely from their loss to Tennessee with three straight blowout wins. Bettors making a Wildcats vs Cardinal prediction on Arizona can count on the offense to do its part and should only need a solid effort from the defense to cover this spread.
Cardinal: Keys To Cover
Harrison Ingram has gone 3-for-12 from the floor and scored only 11 points over Stanford’s last two games. Ingram needs to return to form and have a game like the one he did against USC to make Stanford a strong Wildcats vs Cardinal pick.
