    UCLA unlikely to fail in tonight's home opener -3 (-142)

    - New UCLA OC Jedd Fisch, brought in from Michigan is an outstanding OC who will
    have the offense ready to execute many different plays.
    - A&M is young at LB, this will hurt their abilty to rush the QB Rosen, and if UCLA's
    OL is improved, which is expected (but not guaranteed), Rosen should have enough
    time to find his targets.
    - Much is made that RB Williams from A&M had a +1,000 yard season last year, but
    this is really more of a situation where he's the only thing worth mentioning on a
    truly unestablished offense. By the way, Williams' family was rescued by the Coast
    Guard in Houston just a few days ago, so his week hasn't been very focused.

    - A&M is starting a true Freshman QB who was only named the starter a few days ago.
    - UCLA wants revenge for last year's loss in opener vs. Texas A&M.
    - UCLA has experienced power backs who can gain that short yardage.
    - UCLA has additions on TE which are going to have to be covered.

    UCLA QB Josh Rosen is considered to be a potential NFL QB but his season
    last year was cut short by injury, and an OL that didn't protect him well.
    With a new OC from a quarterback-oriented program like Harbaugh's, I expect
    UCLA to get the ball in the end zone more than Texas A&M.

    UCLA -3 (-142)

    Only thing is people have hyped up UCLA for the past several years and they always play mediocre football especially in bigger games. You would think one of these years they would break through and do something but the years pass and still nothing.
