NCAA Football Matchup: Arizona at Utah

Week 13 is another step closer and closer to the playoffs. While there are no games that would greatly impact the playoff standings, there are huge Pac 12 south implications in this game.

What To Watch:


Utah: Look for Utah to throw the ball. Usually, that's what they do best. However, this year running the ball has been the more successful thing to do. This year, Utah is ranked 54th in rushing yards, while they are 99th in passing. If the Utes can get the passing game going, they can be pretty successful in this game.

Arizona: With Arizona, passing the ball is the key. Led by Anu Solomon, the Wildcats are ranked 14th in the nation for most passing yards per game. Their go-to targets are receivers Cayleb Jones and Austin Hill. If the Wildcats get their passing game flowing early, they will be VERY hard to stop.




X-FACTOR: Utah & Arizona 's Defense
With these two teams being fairly evenly matched , each team's defense will determine which way the game goes. With Utah having home field advantage, Arizona must perform well early. Utah has put up over 50 points in 2 games this year. (Both against mediocre teams, but it surely means that they can put up points.)

Predictions
We predict that Arizona will win 35-32. If you want to discuss anything, hit us up on Facebook.com/SportsWatcherss or @SportsWatcherss on twitter!

March Madness

The time is finally upon us. March Madness is officially in full swing! This year, over 11 million people have submitted a bracket on ESPN. Billionaire Warren Buffet is offering 1 billion dollars to the person that makes the perfect bracket. As you can see, there is a lot of anticipation for this year's tournament!

This year's Selection Sunday came with a few surprises. Louisville is actually rated a 4th seed  after having a 29-5 season! They are put into a region along with the likes of Duke, Michigan, and undefeated Wichita State. Fair much? In the East region, most people have 4th seed Michigan State making it past Virginia to the Final Four. That surprises me, because while Michigan State does have experience, Virginia is not a team to take for granted. In the South bracket, most have Florida at least going to the Final Four if not the championship game(I have them winning it all in one bracket).With that being said, one team NOT to forget about is VCU. They are the type of team to wait until tournament to really play hard. They have a great defense, and they posses the ability to score. While Arizona has the "easiest" road to the Final Four, they can still be beaten. One thing that allows this to happen is the fact that a team only has to  beat them once, unlike the NBA which each team plays each other multiple times. Even if one team is not necessarily better than another, one bad day can have the weaker team advancing in the tournament. Look out for San Diego State in the West bracket, as they have the talent to go deep in the tournament.

As we embark on a new year of craziness, make sure that you fill out your brackets, sit back, and enjoy the madness. To make your March Madness even better, make sure you download my app called "March Madness Questionnaire" in Google Play. Let's see how much you really know about March Madness!
