    How is UCLA only -4 on Thursday?

    I haven't capped this game, but what is going on here?

    If you like it so well jumped on the line now before it moves you're smarter than this

    Utah's secondary isn't very good. Should be a big offensive day for Hundley. Scary line though...

    Maybe a product of last year. Utah played them very tough on the road and only lost by 7. They did a great job of keeping UCLA's run offense from breaking big gainers, so they've got a blue print on this offense to an extent. Really could have been even closer, but Utah fumbled in their own end zone that turned into a UCLA score. Utah is a solid team and tough at home.

    typical thursday night public burial in the making. this game will probably break money line parlays, teasers, and ats bettors.

    UCLA players nobody so far. racked up offensive stats against crap teams. Nebraska is overrated and crap too.

    Utah should cover this. Straight up win wouldn't surprise me. But will wait for the public to get me better line.

    I'll take a home dog on a thursday night NCAA game. UCLA clearly the more talented team, but these are dipshit kids on the road during a weekday night in which they'd normally be smashing a few coeds.

    They're at Utah. That is our Saudi Arabia. At worst they will be hammered drunk in their hotel room alone with their roommate at 1:00 AM, because Mormons are very strict on alcohol and Mormon girls who f*ck leave Utah.

    Does anyone in here follow college football, or do all of you just shoot your mouths off whenever some thought crosses your brain, no matter how idiotic it is. There is no question that Uceless has the talent, but Uceless is 0-3 ATS in their only three meetings with Utah. They are also 0-6 ATS playing a conference opponent after they have won and covered their last two games. Utah won outright against BYU and Utah State, and lost to Oregon State by 3 in OT at home. That is why the line is around 4, where it should be.

    Lol those ats numbers mean absolutely nothing

    I really hope that's not how you cap games

    they didn't even have the same coach for most

    so I ask you , do you even follow college football

    or just go on stat fox and find a reason to argue

    so you can shoot your mouth off

    ya we caught a bad break there, not much we could do about that though. those things happen.

    We played a lot better than I thought we would. Had good looking company at the game and a flask of jack - doesn't get much better. The team Fought hard though, can't ask for more. Looks like we are getting better too. I said at the beginning of the year that we would cover some games as dogs that people wouldn't expect. This was example one. I look for us to give Florida a tough fight next week too.

    I love seeing a team that gets better each week and we are doing just that. Our next two games will be our best shot at an upset for this season. I really think we keep the Florida game close. Our talent level isn't there to compete week in and week out yet but I think we get an upset either this weekend at Florida or next weekend at home vs South Carolina

    The line does look a little trappish, the public will be all over UCLA, I'll be on the Utes at the best number I can get.

    Sportsbook.ag just opened UCLA at -6. They have been suprisingly right about lines the past few weeks. If you like UCLA you should be betting now at -4 while you still can.

    Not buying into the Utah hype. Seen them play a few times this year and have been totally unimpressed. UCLA rolls in this one.

    I have nothing against UCLA, it is just that I like to stay away from 70% public road favorites in these weeknight TV games. I know has nothing to do with the game on the field, but I strongly feels it saves you money in the long run.

    One of the weirdest lines I've seen all year. Watched both teams -- this should be a blowout.

    if the line moves past six, I will buy the hook and hit it again!
    a compelling argument could be made for the Utes ML.
    best of luck to the Utah backers...SoCal kids in the Holy Land on a Thursday night?
    even if UCLA had God on their side (which they clearly don't) they would need some good luck to cover the number, imho.
    but what the fxxk do I know?

    Utah pass defense is atrocious, I watched Oregon St. shredded the secondary. ..UCLA with 2 weeks to prepare...

    UCLA lighting up the scoreboard on offense, Bruins pull away in the 2nd half

    Books aren't stupid. UCLA should be -7 here minimum. This line should mimic the ISU/Texas line if the Bruins were truly the play.

    Books try to set a line to create action on both sides ....-7 plus the home field for Utah =-4, I had this line at -10 base on the stats, Bruins not a DD road chalk because this is the 1st conference road game for the Bruins. Line will be around -6.5, -7 around gametime IMO
