UCLA at Washington picks and predictions
Prediction
UCLA 70, Washington 62
Moneyline
PASS.
UCLA at -575 is far too high to make a play on in this game. Adding this number to a parlay is alright, but it will still not add much value and the best thing is to just stay away entirely.
Against the spread
BET WASHINGTON +10.5 (-110).
Washington is the right side in this game. The Huskies will not win, but they will keep it close enough to cover the double-digit spread. UCLA will win, but it does not blow teams out and it will not do so here. Expect the Bruins to win this game by single digits so give me Washington +10.5 (-110) as my favorite play.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 138.5 (-110).
UCLA will attempt to get in and out of this game and finish its 2-game Washington trip with a 2-0 record. Washington will be happy to keep this game slow-paced as it is the only hope it will have to pull off the upset. This will be a low-scoring slog of a game and I do not see it hitting the Over 140.5. Take Under 138.5 (-110) in this contest.
