Arizona at UCLA picks and predictions

Prediction

Arizona 79, UCLA 66

Moneyline

PASS.

Arizona (-430) should pick up the win here, but the Wildcats are not worth the risk of betting on as such heavy favorites, especially since they’re only 5-5 in their last 10 matchups vs. UCLA. Bet on the spread and/or total instead.

Against the spread

LEAN ARIZONA -8.5 (-118).

Arizona has covered the spread in back-to-back outings and is 7-2-1 ATS in its last 10 games, while the Bruins are 0-4 ATS in their last 4. The Wildcats have also been the better team ATS this season, going 19-9-1 while UCLA is 12-15-2.

This is a very slight lean as the Bruins have been better ATS in recent matchups vs. the Wildcats.

UCLA at Washington State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UCLA at Washington State odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The UCLA Bruins (14-14, 9-8 Pac-12) visit the No. 21 Washington State Cougars (22-7, 13-5) Saturday. Tip-off from Friel Court at Beasley Coliseum is set for 7 p.m. ET (Pac-12 Network). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the UCLA vs. Washington State odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and best bets.

UCLA lost 94-77 vs. the Washington Huskies Thursday while failing to cover as a 3.5-point road underdog. The Bruins continue to be among the worst offenses in the nation, averaging only 66.3 points per game. UCLA has lost 3 consecutive games and has failed to cover the spread in all 3 losses.

Washington State picked up a 75-72 win over the USC Trojans Thursday, failing to cover as an 8-point home favorite. Washington State held the Trojans to only 20% from deep in the win. The Cougars are 9-1 in their last 10 games and 7-3 against the spread (ATS) during that span.

UCLA at Washington State picks and predictions

Prediction

Washington State 66, UCLA 60

Moneyline

PASS.

Washington State (-315) is the much hotter team — 9-1 in its last 10 games — but the Cougars are not worth the risk of betting on as -315 favorites. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.

UCLA is 8-2 in its last 10 matchups vs. Washington State, but Washington State has been the much better team this season, so that is not enough for me to advise picking the Bruins here.

Against the spread

LEAN UCLA +6.5 (-102).

UCLA has covered the spread in 4 of its last 5 road games and is 6-4 ATS in its last 10 games overall. The Bruins have also covered the spread in 3 of their last 4 battles with the Cougars and are 6-4 ATS in the last 10 meetings.

This is a very slight lean as the Cougars have been the slightly better team ATS this season and as the Cougars have been the much better overall team this year.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 126.5 (-105).

The Under has hit in 3 of UCLA’s last 5 games and is 16-11 for the Bruins this season.

For Washington State, the Under is 3-1 in its last 4 games and 16-12 on the season. The Under also hit in the last meeting between these teams.

This is only a lean because the Over has been safer in recent UCLA-Washington State matchups.

Colorado at UCLA odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Colorado at UCLA odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Colorado Buffaloes (4-3, 1-3 Pac-12) and UCLA Bruins (5-2, 2-2) meet Saturday at the Rose Bowl. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ABC). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Colorado vs. UCLA odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Buffaloes have been off since Oct. 13 and that epic meltdown against Stanford. Colorado led 29-0 but ended up frittering away the lead and falling 46-43 in OT, slowing the Coach Prime hype train to a crawl. CU has lost 3 of the past 4 games outright, while going 1-3-1 against the spread (ATS) in the past 5 games overall.

The Bruins faced Stanford last weekend, and handled the Cardinal on the road by a 42-7 score to easily cash as 17-point favorites as the Under (52) cashed. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games overall for the Bruins, while going 4-2 ATS in the past 6 contests.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Colorado at UCLA picks and predictions

Prediction

UCLA 45, Colorado 24

Moneyline

UCLA (-700) will cost you 7 times your potential return, and that’s quite a lot of risk for not very much return. The Bruins have won all 3 games at the Rose Bowl this season, while going 2-1 ATS during the span.

AVOID, and lay the points with the Bruins instead.

Against the spread

UCLA -14.5 (-115) seems like a pretty big number. However, the Bruins have a tremendous defense, allowing just 282.6 total yards per game, while ranking 2nd overall with 68.6 rushing yards per outing. UCLA concedes just 14.9 PPG, too, which is 10th in the country, according to Covers.com.

Offensively, UCLA has registered 464.6 total yards per game while racking up 215.7 rushing yards per contest. The Bruins should crush the Colorado +14.5 (-105) defense, which concedes 473.7 total yards per game, and 316.3 passing yards per outing with 35.9 PPG allowed.

Over/Under

OVER 60.5 (-110) is a strong play. While UCLA’s defense is strong, the Colorado defense is horrendous. The Buffs have allowed 35 or more points in 4 of the past 5 games.

The Buffs will still get their fair share of points, too, even though the Bruins are solid on the defensive end. CU has scored 27 or more points in 6 of 7 games overall, and at least 36 points on 5 different occasions.

UCLA at Stanford odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UCLA at Stanford odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The UCLA Bruins (4-2, 1-2 Pac-12) and Stanford Cardinal (2-4, 1-3) meet Saturday at Stanford Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 10:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the UCLA vs. Stanford odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Bruins are away for the 3rd time in 4 games, and the road hasn’t been kind to UCLA. After winning 35-10 at San Diego State back on Sept. 9 in a non-conference game, the Bruins lost 17-14 at Utah on Sept. 23, and 36-24 at Oregon State last time out last Saturday. It’s also 0-2 against the spread (ATS) in road conference game this season.

The Cardinal pulled off the improbable comeback last Friday at Colorado. It trailed 29-0 at halftime, shutting off many TVs across the country. However, for those who stuck around, they saw Stanford post a 46-43 comeback victory in 2OT. While Stanford still has a lot of work to do, it saved its season, for now.

UCLA is No. 25 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

UCLA at Stanford picks and predictions

Prediction

UCLA 41, Stanford 21

Moneyline

UCLA (-900) will cost you 9 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk on the road, especially against a Stanford (+600) side which just received a big dose of confidence with its giant comeback in Boulder last week.

AVOID.

Against the spread

UCLA -17 (-110) will get the job done on the road. While Stanford +17 (-110) picked up the win at Colorado last week, that’s against a super poor defense. UCLA allows just 281.0 total yards per game to rank No. 11 in the nation, while conceding just 76.0 rushing yards per game. And the Bruins allow 16.2 PPG, so it should be back to struggles on offense for the Cardinal.

The Cardinal defense is horrendous, and UCLA should be able to move the ball at will, grabbing the cover in the process.

Over/Under

OVER 53.5 (-115) is the play in this Pac-12 contest.

The Bruins are racking up 214.8 rushing yards per game, ranking 10th in the nation, while producing 29.5 PPG. That should continue against an awful Cardinal defense yielding 459.7 total yards per game, 321.5 passing YPG and 36.0 PPG, all among the worst marks in the nation.

Stanford will fail to score very many points, but it will allow UCLA to produce oodles of points.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The No. 22 UCLA Bruins (4-1, 1-1 Pac-12) visit the No. 14 Oregon State Beavers (5-1, 2-1) Saturday night. Kickoff at Reser Stadium in Corvallis is slated for 8 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the UCLA vs. Oregon State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Bruins are No. 22 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports. UCLA beat Washington State 25-17 to cover as a 3-point favorite last Saturday following its bye week. The Bruins outgained the Cougars 471 yards to 216. A stingy UCLA defense has held foes under 260 total yards in 4 consecutive games.

The No. 14 Beavers’ lone loss this season was at Washington State on Sept. 23. OSU has won back-to-back games since, including a 52-40 win at California last Saturday as a 7.5-point favorite. QB D.J. Uiagalelei threw 5 TD passes against the Golden Bears.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

UCLA at Oregon State picks and predictions

Prediction

Oregon State 31, UCLA 27

Moneyline

UCLA was a 3rd-down disaster in its last road game, a 14-7 loss at Utah on Sept. 23. They were sharp last week in a bounce-back after a bye week.

Oregon State played Utah tougher (OSU bead UU 21-7 the week after the Utes played UCLA), but a couple of other comps swing the Bruins’ way and they’ve had some inconsistent stretches in games that open them up too much to a close one here.

Peg the pricing as fair: PASS.

Against the spread

The Bruins are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games played in Corvallis.

Figure UCLA as having some partial-unit value at +4.5 or +5 but not on the current number. PASS.

Over/Under

The total has gone Over in 4 of Oregon State’s last 6 games overall and in 6 of UCLA’s last 8 games on the road.

The Bruins offense has not been great and its numbers are propped up by a Sept. 16 rout of FCS North Carolina Central. However, some underlying signals — like 1st and 2nd down success vs. 3rd down trouble — indicate more is under the hood. UCLA showed plenty of balance last Saturday when it piled up 290 passing and 181 rushing yards.

Oregon State ranks 15th in the nation in running the ball (205.5 YPG), but a staunch UCLA defense should force the Beavers into plenty of throws.

In a close game with some back-and-forth spiral, and with the Bruins being a sneaky fast-tempo team, look for this game to get close to 30 a side or thereabouts.

BACK THE OVER 54.5 (-105).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The No. 14 Washington State Cougars (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) face the UCLA Bruins (3-1, 0-1) Saturday. Kickoff from the Rose Bowl in Pasadena is set for 3 p.m. ET (Pac-12 Network). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Washington State vs. UCLA odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Washington State is coming off a bye week following a 38-35 upset win over the Oregon State Beavers. QB Cameron Ward has completed 74.6% of his passes (106 of 142) for 1,390 yards, 13 TDs with no interceptions. The Cougar offense averages 533.8 total yards per game and 406 of those come from the passing attack.

UCLA was also off last week after suffering a 14-7 loss vs. the Utah Utes. UCLA has a much more balanced offense than Washington State, averaging 456 total yards per game with 251 coming via the air and 205 coming on the ground.

Washington State is No. 14 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Washington State at UCLA picks and predictions

Prediction

Washington State 38, UCLA 32

Moneyline

LEAN WASHINGTON STATE (+140).

I like Washington State to blow the top off of this UCLA defense that has been stout to start the season, and I don’t see UCLA’s offense being able to keep up with the Cougars. UCLA was held to 7 points in its last outing vs. Utah and that should cause some concern among Bruins fans. UCLA’s defense has yet to allow more than 13 points in a game this year, but I expect Ward and this Cougar offense to break that streak.

Against the spread

BET WASHINGTON STATE +3 (-105).

Washington State has a terrible defense that will allow UCLA to likely make this a close game, but I expect Ward to shred this Bruin defense and continue to do so without committing turnovers. Ward has 3 receivers with more than 300 yards receiving and with multiple TDs. Look for Ward to spread the ball around and get the Cougars out to an early lead that they will hold until the end.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 59.5 (-115).

The Over number of 59.5 has been hit in 3 of the last 6 meetings between these teams, and I expect it to be hit again in this meeting. Both of these offenses average more than 460 yards per game, but what will propel this game to hit the Over is Washington State’s terrible defense. The Cougars’ defense allows 382.8 yards of offense per game with 250.8 of those coming through the air. Look for both teams to score 30+ here.

UCLA at Utah odds, picks and predictions

Looking at Saturday’s UCLA Bruins at Utah Utes college football odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The No. 25 UCLA Bruins (3-0, 0-0 Pac-12) and No. 10 Utah Utes (3-0,0-0) meet Saturday in Salt Lake City, Utah. Kickoff at Rice-Eccles Stadium will be at 3:30 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the UCLA vs. Utah odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Bruins are coming off a 59-7 conquest of FCS North Carolina Central, and they are a plus-91 in scoring margin through 3 wins. The nation’s top rushing average per carry (7.44) has helped ice all 3 games. UCLA is No. 25 in the US LBM Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

No. 10 Utah has allowed just 2.83 YPC and should be a good test for the UCLA run game. The Utes have parlayed a solid overall defense into allowing just 31 points in 3 games. That includes UU defeating FCS Weber State 31-7 in Week 3.

UCLA at Utah picks and predictions

Prediction

Utah 28, UCLA 21

Moneyline

Peg the true odds, or certainly any leverage on the value side — Utah, as being lost between these prices.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Utah QB Cameron Rising tore his ACL in the 2023 Rose Bowl Game, and he has missed each of UU’s first 3 games this season. However, Rising is expected to play in this one, and he joins a veteran Utes group that has returned a lot of talent from last year.

Rising and the Utes were undone 42-32 by the Bruins last fall, but the game was close statistically and UU was hurt by 3 UCLA touchdown drives of fewer than 65 yards.

The ability of Utah to limit a big-play Bruins offense looms large. And look for the Utes to have better success on 3rd downs. Their 37.8% success rate ranks 90th in the nation.

In this revenge spot, getting a big lift from their home venue, look for UTAH -5.5 (-115) to be a solid play.

Over/Under

A low-to-moderate score on a good-weather day is the prognosis for this one. The public is draped all over the notion of a game between 50-55 points.

PASS.

UCLA at San Diego State picks and predictions

Prediction

UCLA 38, San Diego State 17

Moneyline

While the Bruins should come away with their 2nd straight win, I’ll PASS on their moneyline. Betting on a team at -650 odds isn’t worth the risk, especially with the minimal return you’ll receive if UCLA wins.

Against the spread

UCLA -14.5 (-110) is the pick in this contest as the Aztecs lean on their ground game, while the Bruins have a formidable run defense. The Bruins allowed only 133.5 rushing yards per game in 2022 and they surrendered only 56 rushing yards in Week 1 against Coastal Carolina.

Meanwhile, UCLA should have a much better offense than Idaho State and Ohio, which are the 2 teams that San Diego State has played thus far.

Over/Under

OVER 48.5 (-115) is how I’d bet on the total as UCLA should be able to score a decent amount of points on San Diego State’s mediocre defense. The Bruins were 10-3 to the Over in 2022 and the Aztecs will score enough points to help the Over hit in Saturday’s matchup.
