USC at UCLA: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

UCLA 31, USC 30

Money line (ML)

UCLA’s defense could surprise people in this matchup. USC has been a one-dimensional offense this season, the Trojans only average 3.6 yards per rush and had 5 rushing yards in their last game against a mediocre Washington State rush defense.

Usc V Ucla Football Odds

The Bruins are allowing just 3.7 yards per rush, and their pass defense has improved by leaps and bounds year over year. Opponents are completing just 58.6% of passes against UCLA (66.4% in 2019) for 229.4 yards per game (310.8 in 2019) and the Bruins are 13th in sack rate.

Also, UCLA is better in high-leverage situations (3rd down and red zone conversion percentages). which is huge because USC-UCLA is projected to be a close one.

I only leanUCLA (+135) for a half-unit because there’s so much more value on the spread.

Against the spread (ATS)

GIMME UCLA +3.5 (-110) for 1.5 units. After losing outright and ATS to an undefeated now-No. 22 Colorado, the Bruins have covered four straight games. Plus we get to fade the market with USC getting 67% of the action according to Pregame.com.

College Football Odds

Over/Under (O/U)

UCLA should look to the run at USC and avoid the Trojans’ awesome pass defense. Southern California is 14th in opponent’s yards per pass, ninth in interception rate and 25th in sack rate.

Furthermore, there’s value on the Under here because the public always expects USC and UCLA to go Over. They have a combined O/U record of 2-7 with all of the Trojans games going Under the total. More than 90% of the public is hammering the Over again in this game (Pregame.com).

I get these offenses are good, but this total is too high. BET UNDER 63.5 (-105) for 1 unit.

UCLA at Oregon: Three things to know

UCLA overcame COVID-19-altered scheduling to trounce California 34-10 last Sunday. The Bruins were originally slated to play the Utah Utes, and the Bears were to play the Arizona State Sun Devils, but a COVID outbreak amongst each team’s scheduled opponent forced those games to be canceled.Oregon came from 12 points behind to beat Washington State 43-29 and earn a backdoor cover as a 10.5-point favorite thanks to a one-yard touchdown run with 1:40 left.The Ducks blew out the Bruins 42-21 the last time these teams met in 2018, which was Chip Kelly’s first year as UCLA’s head coach.

UCLA at Oregon: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Oregon 33, UCLA 27

Money line (ML)

UCLA QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s questionable game status is the lead in the story of UCLA-Oregon. His status is based on clearing Pac-12 COVID protocols after a teammate tested positive for the virus.

With all of Oregon’s turnover on offense (most notably QB Justin Herbert getting drafted into the NFL), I’d make UCLA a live dog. Thompson-Robinson is in his third season in Chip Kelly’s offense, UCLA has a higher net yards per play and its money line is insanely juicy.

Until I know the QB’s status, I’ll save my quarter-unit wager on the Bruins. PASS ON THE MONEY LINE.

Against the spread (ATS)

Not only is Oregon No. 13 in the Amway Coaches Poll but it is also top-10 in both Football Outsiders’ FEI and ESPN’s SP+ rankings.

However, let’s pump the brakes on this 2020 Oregon team. Oregon’s 21-point victory over Stanford looks more impressive than it was. The Ducks outgained the Cardinals by an average of only 7.5 to 7.2 yards per play, were plus-4 in turnover differential and Stanford committed 10 penalties for 100 yards.

UCLA’s opening-game 48-42 loss to Colorado as a 6.5-point favorite looked especially bad because Colorado’s head coach was making his debut. UCLA shot itself in the foot, going minus-4 in turnover differential which got them into negative game script.

I’d love the Bruins getting points if Thompson-Robinson were playing but I’ll GAMBLE ON UCLA +17.5 (-110) for a half-unit.

Over/Under (O/U)

I kind of want to trust all of the college football nerds that have Oregon’s defense as a top-tier unit because through two games the numbers don’t align.

The Ducks are 113th in opponent’s yards per play, 51st in opponent’s 3rd down conversion percentage and 99th in opponent’s yards per rush. It’d obviously be easier to defend UCLA without Thompson-Robinson, so that has to be factored into the total handicap.

The Bruins are 10th in yards per play and 39th in yards per rush, which is huge because Oregon gains the most yards per play on the ground.

Additionally, the sharps are on the Under and the public is on the Over: 91% of the cash is on the Under while 71% of the bets placed are on the Over, according to Pregame.com.

GIMME UNDER 64.5 (-110) for 1.5 units.
