Utah vs. UCLA Odds
Utah vs. UCLA Picks
Utah vs. UCLA Pick
Utah -4.5 (-104) ★★★
The Utes are averaging 42.0 points per game while allowing just 14.4. Since their Week 1 loss, they've looked exactly like the team everyone expected coming into this season.
The Bruins may be 5-0, but they had a serious scare against South Alabama, and they're coming off their biggest win of the season. Now with a No. 18 ranking, this feels like the perfect spot for a letdown.
It’s worth noting that the Utes are 5-0 against the spread in their last five games against the Bruins.
Utah vs. UCLA O/U Pick
Over 64.5 (-110) ★★★★
These two teams each average over 40 PPG, so it seems a bit surprising that this number isn’t higher. The Utes’ defense has been incredible in recent weeks, though they haven’t faced an offense with UCLA's explosiveness.
Bruins quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson should do enough to become the second QB to score 20+ on the Utes this season. Will he lead the Bruins to 40+ again? Probably not. But the Utes will do their part to get this total into the 70s by continuing to play their brand of football.
Utah vs. UCLA Prop Pick
Utah Over 34.5 (-110) ★★★
The Utes have scored 35 or more in three of their last four games, including last weekend against Oregon State. The Bruins are only allowing 20.8 PPG this season, but they've allowed 30+ to the two best offenses they’ve faced so far. The Utes have the best O-line the Bruins will face at any point this season, which could cause serious problems.
