Arizona comes in with a stronger record, suggesting they have been more consistent this season. West Virginia’s even record hints at some struggles but also potential to keep it close at home.
The betting line has Arizona favored by 3.5 points, with odds just under even money (-105). This means bettors need to wager $105 to win $100 on Arizona covering the spread. West Virginia is the underdog at +3.5 points, with slightly better odds (-115), so a $115 bet would win $100 if West Virginia keeps the game within 3 points or wins outright.
Arizona’s moneyline at -175 shows they are the clear favorite to win straight up. You’d need to bet $175 to win $100 on them. West Virginia’s moneyline at +145 offers a nice payout if you believe the home team can pull off an upset.
