UCLA at Oregon picks and predictions
Prediction
Oregon 70, UCLA 65
Moneyline
PASS.
The Ducks are the better play here, and while their moneyline does pose a reasonable value, the spread is the better suggestion. Oregon has won all 4 home games by double figures.
Against the spread
BET OREGON -3.5 (-110).
The Bruins have yet to be tested this season, and in the lone game in which they were a single-digit favorite, they lost by 8. They have also yet to play on the road and are 0-1 ATS away from home.
The Ducks are 2-2 ATS at home and are 3-0 ATS on a neutral court. They are 4-3 ATS as a favorite and 2-1 ATS as a single-digit favorite. Considering those trends, back OREGON -3.5 (-110).
Over/Under
BET UNDER 140.5 (-110).
If there’s one thing both teams can agree on, it is the Under. The Ducks are 1-3 O/U at home, 0-2 O/U in their last 2 games, and 4-5 O/U on the season. They have allowed 70 or fewer points in 6 of 9 games.
The Bruins are 1-7 O/U and have allowed fewer than 60 points in all but 2 games and have yet to allow more than 72 points in a game. UCLA has scored 64 and 69 in games in which it was a favorite of 15 or fewer points.
Take UNDER 140.5 (-110).
