UCLA at Arizona State odds, lines, picks and predictions
Prediction
UCLA 72, Arizona State 63
Money line
STEER CLEAR. The juice in the middle floods the value at either end.
Against the spread
The home team is 15-6-2 ATS in the last 23 meetings between these two sides.
TAKE THE SUN DEVILS +10.5 (-112) in Saturday’s game. ASU has been solid defensively lately and is perhaps due for some regression to better its shooting numbers.
Over/Under
The Over has hit in five straight UCLA-ASU games and has covered the total by double-digit margins in each of the last two.
TAKE THE OVER 130.5 (-115) Saturday. The Devils are a sneaky-good defensive team that will keep the Bruins engaged in a 2-to-3 score game longer and actually spiral the score northward.
