The Houston Cougars are just two wins away from bowl eligibility, a surprising turnaround after starting the season 1-4. Head coach Willie Fritz has the team playing well, with a notable win over then-No. 17 Kansas State. On the other hand, the Arizona Wildcats have lost five consecutive games after a 3-1 start. Both teams are looking to secure a win on Friday night to improve their chances of reaching six wins and a bowl game.
The game between Houston and Arizona is expected to be a close matchup, with the Wildcats favored by 1.5 points. Both teams are coming off bye weeks, giving them time to prepare and make adjustments. Houston will rely on their defense to slow down Arizona’s quarterback-wide receiver duo, while Arizona will have to contain Houston’s explosive dual-threat quarterback.
The game will be available to watch on FS1 and stream on the FOX Sports app. Fans can tune in at 8:15 p.m. MST/9:15 p.m. CT to catch the action live from Arizona Stadium in Tucson. The prediction is a close game with Houston coming out on top 27-24, but oddsmakers have Arizona as the slight favorite. Football fans won’t want to miss this exciting Big 12 matchup between two teams fighting for a shot at a bowl game.
