4. Colorado at UCLA
LINE UCLA -16.5
ATS PICK UCLA
The line moved on this with UCLA QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson expected to go, but even a little shift should be okay.
I’m buying into the idea that the team just needed a break after tough days at the office against Oregon and Utah.
Throw in that UCLA can get bowl eligible for the first time since 2017, and that Chip Kelly is on a flaming hot seat if he doesn’t get the win, and it’s Colorado head coach Karl Dorrell coming back to play the program where he coached at from 2003 to 2007.
And there’s the most important part – the Bruins had two weeks off to rest up in mid-November.
But it’s more than that. Colorado might be playing a bit better than it was earlier in the season, but the defense is still having problems against the run allowing well over 200 yards in four of the last five games.
Give this to the fresher Bruin lines.
