Kansas Jayhawks vs Arizona Wildcats Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 11/08/25

The Arizona Wildcats host the Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday afternoon. For both of these schools, it is basketball time — football is not going to garner much attention this time of year. Both teams are in the muddled middle of the conference standings, both have 5 wins overall and both need just 1 more to be bowl eligible. That’s really the goal for both programs. The visiting Jayhawks snapped a 2-game losing streak by beating lowly Oklahoma State last week. Arizona likewise ended a 2-game skid when they dog-walked Colorado in Boulder last week, 52-17. I feel like the Wildcats will win this game, but I think my preferred play is to back the offenses and play the game total over 56.

Both teams have good offenses, led by solid quarterbacks. For Kansas, it is a run-first outfit when it can — while Arizona runs an up-tempo passing attack. Both teams play fast, which usually means more points. Don’t be surprised if the punters stay on the sidelines most of the time on fourth downs, too. The wild card here is the Arizona defense. At this point in the season, Arizona’s defense grades out 15th in total yards allowed and inside the top 10 against the pass. I am suspicious that that has a lot to do with the style of offenses they have faced, but nevertheless, this is a sneaky good defense. But I still think this is a game in which someone hits 30. I’ll run with the over.

Kansas vs Arizona prediction: Over 56 (-110) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
