UCLA at Washington picks and predictions
Prediction
Washington 23, UCLA 20
Moneyline
Washington (-185) is a little on the risky side, costing you nearly 2 times your potential return. If you were to toss the Huskies into a multi-leg parlay, that would be OK, but for a standalone bet it is too much risk and not enough return.
Washington is 5-0 straight up at home this season, but UCLA has been red-hot lately.
AVOID.
Against the spread
Back UCLA +4 (-110) catching the points, but go lightly with a half-unit play at most.
The Bruins have been hot against the number, covering in 3 straight games, while the Huskies are 1-3 ATS in the past 4 outings and 3-6 ATS across the previous 9 contests.
Over/Under
UNDER 46.5 (-105) is worth a look in this Big Ten battle in the Pacific Northwest.
The Under has cashed in 3 in a row for the Dawgs, while going 8-2 in 10 games on the season.
For the Bruins, the total has gone low in 5 of the past 7 games. The Under also cashed in the most recent meeting in Seattle, a 24-17 win by UCLA Oct. 16, 2021.
