The UCLA Bruins (7-1, 4-1 Pac-12) travel to Tempe to take on the Arizona State Sun Devils (3-5, 2-3) Saturday at 10:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the UCLA vs. Arizona odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
Arizona State is a complete mess this season. With coach Herm Edwards finally let go, the team is limping to the offseason and hopes to bring in a coach who can take advantage of the prime location and resources the Sun Devils provide to bring structure and talent back to the fold in Tempe. Transfer QB Emory Jones was supposed to bring in more talent at the position, but he was benched Saturday.
UCLA has ridden the hot play of QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson to a 7-1 record and a No. 12 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings. With WR Jake Bobo and RB Zach Charbonnet leading the way, UCLA will be a tough team down the stretch of the season.

UCLA at Arizona State picks and predictions
Prediction
UCLA 38, Arizona State 17
Moneyline
PASS. The number for the ML is too high
Against the spread
BET UCLA -11.0 (-108).
UCLA has played well in every game this season. Going against a low-level Pac-12 team like Arizona State, even on the road, should not be much to worry about.
Thompson-Robinson has been stellar in Chip Kelly’s offense and with Charbonnet and Bobo, the Bruins will score enough to cover the -11.0 number in this game. The Bruin’s defense is still not great, but it is good enough to hold down the Sun Devils in this game.
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 66.0 (-108).
UCLA will score. But will Arizona State? This is the question and why I lean to the under in this game. If UCLA gets to 50, this could get to the over. But I do not see UCLA getting to 50. So, I will take the Under if anything here.
