Hill Picks: Arizona to Challenge No. 2 Utah as NFL Rookie Makes First Start

Arizona Faces Utah Test
Utah arrives after a major victory over rival BYU, a situation that can lead to a let-down, according to the analysis. Arizona is unbeaten at home and has quarterback Noah Fifita. The pick favors Arizona to give Utah its first loss, with an alternate line chosen in case the game is decided by a field goal.
Texas A&M’s Scoring Challenge
Texas A&M has scored in single digits in three of its six SEC games and has not scored more than 21 points in any of them. The forecast expects points to be difficult to come by against Tennessee’s elite defense.
Lakers Star Keeps Scoring
The Lakers star is averaging more than 39.3 points per game this season and has scored at least 35 in seven of his past eight games. Milwaukee ranks 28th defensively, allowing more than 120 points per game. The pick expects the star to keep shooting well against the Bucks.
Rookie’s First NFL Start
The rookie will make his first career start against the defending champion Seahawks, described as a difficult opponent for any quarterback. The prediction is that the rookie will likely make a mistake or two.
Sunday Night Football Pick
The final leg is reserved for Sunday Night Football. If the first four legs win, the bettor can take Pittsburgh +3.5 for a chance to win both bets.
Pittsburgh won the teams’ first meeting in Pittsburgh earlier this season. The pick expects Cincinnati to get revenge this time.
