Prediction
Oregon finds themselves as huge favorites in this game on Saturday and frankly, it looks to be too many points. UCLA is coming off a game where they put up a fight against LSU for a half and that game was on the road. Back at home against a familiar foe, there is reason to believe the Bruins can keep this game within a few scores.
Oregon has only won once in a blowout this season and that was against in-state rival, Oregon State. The Ducks are no doubt the superior team, but too many things have to go right for them to cover a spread this big. For that reason, backing the Bruins to cover will be our play.
Final Pick
UCLA Bruins +25.5 (-110)
