Arizona enters the 2024 college football season ranked 21st in the Associated Press Top 25. Some even believe the Wildcats have a chance to make the College Football Playoffs.

They have a chance to start the season on a high note at home when they face New Mexico, one of the few FBS teams that played in Week 0. The Lobos lost to Montana State, one of the top teams in the FCS, in a close game last week by a last-second touchdown.

Prediction for New Mexico vs. Arizona

I expect Arizona to win and cover the spread at -31.5. I also expect the game to go over 58.5 total points.

Yes, I know, I think Arizona wins by quite a margin. But I think New Mexico has proven to be better than last year now that Bronco Mendenhall is the head coach of the Lobos. Montana State isn't a bad team no matter what division it's in, and New Mexico could have a solid offense with Devon Dampier at quarterback.

Still, this Arizona team looks to be a top team in the Big 12. I think the Wildcats will score a lot of points early on their way to a win.
