Freshman running back Gavin Sawchuk has done well throughout the year, as he has 105 carries for 610 yards (5.8 yards per attempt) with eight rushing touchdowns. With four consecutive games with 100+ rushing yards, expect the over for Sawchuk's yardage on the ground.

Arizona vs Oklahoma: Prediction

The Arizona Wildcats are the better team for this game and should be able to dominate. Looking at the defenses in the previous five regular-season games, the Wildcats are giving up 21.2 points per game, while the Sooners are allowing 30.8 points per game.

With no Dillon Gabriel, expect Arizona to control the game offensively, so go with the Wildcats to cover the spread.

Prediction: Arizona Wildcats -2.5
