[MATT YOUMANS REVIEW-JOURNAL, 27-24-2 (overall record)]

Today’s best bet: ARIZONA (+121/2) over Oregon

It will take some luck for the Wildcats to upset the No. 2 Ducks, who are 8-1 straight up and against the spread. Oregon has scored 35 points or more in seven games behind quarterback Dennis Dixon. But Arizona’s Willie Tuitama, with 24 touchdown passes, can exploit a Ducks pass defense that ranks 105th in the nation. The Wildcats won last season’s meeting, 37-10.
