Arizona (-1.5) at Arizona State - 10:00am Pacific Saturday
With all of the talent the Wildcats possess, its hard to believe that with a loss here they would be out of a bowl game. Arizona's "double eagle flex defense" has not faired well for almost the entire season. Coaches come from all over the country to study the highly thought of complex defensive scheme. Maybe after another BYE week the coaching staff can get the players to finally execute it correctly. Even if they do not get a good performance from the senior dominated defense playing in their final regular season game, the Arizona offense can outscore any opponent. The Wildcats have as much skill position talent as anyone in the country. We look for another great game from outstanding WR Dennis Northcut who will benefit from an extra week of rest. Arizona State has a few bright spots, but just do not have the overall talent to match up with Arizona. The Sun Devils have been hurt by injuries and are nowhere near what they started the season with. Arizona is a senior dominated team and would very much like to end their year with a bowl game in Hawaii which is what they will probably get with a win here. Head coach Dick Tomey is reportedly in the hot seat and better win this to keep his job and get a much needed extra month of practice to get ready for the 2000 season. Tomey is 13-4 ATS after a BYE week and the visitor in this series has covered 7 straight times. Wildcats will give their frustrated fans a big win. Arizona  2 UNITS 

Mississippi at Mississippi State (Over 36) - 5:00pm Pacific Thursday
Our first over/under play of the season. Eight out of ten of Mississippi's games have gone over 36 points. They have an outstanding offensive line and running game. It has been said that the way to beat Mississippi State's top ranked defense is to run right at them and Ole Miss will be able to test that theory today. QB Romaro Miller will play despite a sprained ankle. When the Rebels are not running, you can expect to see Miller in the shotgun a little more than usual to give him some added protection. Do not forget that Ole Miss head coach David Cutcliffe was a former offensive coordinator at Tennessee and will find ways to score points. Miss State's offense has been struggling of late but has some potential. They actually did better than looked last week but were hampered by 116 penalty yards. Their wide receivers are capable. They are due to put some points on the board and will be fired up against their instate rival. Mississippi State is a little banged up on defense. FS Pig Prather is very questionable, DE Menafee & CB Smoot suffered ankle injuries in their game 4 days ago. MSU did not return home from Arkansas until 3:00am Sunday morning, which basically gives them only three days to prepare for this game. The short preparation time for both teams should be advantageous for the offenses. One or two big plays are in store and should put this game over the total without much trouble. Over 36  1 UNIT
