This die-hard fan will not bet against the Wildcats

Arizona Wildcats Football


I will not predict a loss for my Arizona Wildcats this week.

Oregon (4-0) is at home and are favored by a couple of touchdowns and if you cornered a Duck fan on a street corner in Eugene, he or she would probably smile and say the Ducks should win by four, maybe five touchdowns.

It's pretty much stacked against my Wildcats -- away from home in a hostile land, in a nationally televised game with a gaudy second in the nation ranking. Compare all that to Arizona (4-0) and ranked somewhere on the charts from 26 to 30.

The Ducks waddled through an easy schedule so far with lopsided wins over South Dakota, Michigan State, and Wyoming, followed by a not-so-easy win over Washington State, so this game, in my opinion, is their first real tester and they'll be out to bury the Wildcats if they can.

Oregon couldn't get it done last year, so I predict...nope,  I said I wasn't going to do that this week. Instead, I'll be on the edge of my seat...and I'll pray a lot.
