Time:'11 p.m. ET
Venue:'Arizona Stadium – Tucson, AZ
Coverage:'FS1
Week 3 of the 2022 NCAA college football season includes a showdown between the North Dakota State Bison and Arizona Wildcats. Momentum is on the Bison's side after their one-sided 43-3 victory over North Carolina A&T last week that saw the defense hold the Aggies to 189 total offensive yards.
Unfortunately, Arizona didn't have the same Week 2 experience, instead losing, 39-17, to Mississippi State. If the Wildcats want to win this time around, they need a better performance from quarterback Jayden de Laura, who threw three interceptions in the loss.

North Dakota State vs Arizona Prediction & Pick
FCS powerhouse North Dakota State has a terrific opportunity to take advantage of a slumping Arizona squad. The Wildcats have come up short more often than not lately, losing 18 of their last 20 outings. Adding insult to injury, Arizona is 1-11 in its last 12 games in its home stadium.
Logically, this is a game that the Wildcats win. The Bison haven't played an FBS school in about six years, so it's been quite some time since they've seen real competition. I expect de Laura and the offense to have a bounce-back performance, giving Arizona the upset win.
Final Score Prediction:'Arizona: 28 | North Dakota State: 23

North Dakota State vs Arizona Best Bet
Since I'm predicting Arizona to win, the most pl ayable bet is to take the Wildcats at +115 on the moneyline. They're a better team than they showed against Mississippi State last week and while North Dakota State is solid, the Bison will get a reminder of how tough FBS opponents can be.
