The current betting odds have UCLA listed as a 3.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. UCLA looked good in their win last week as they beat Washington State and moved to 4-1 on the season with their only loss coming against Utah. Oregon State has also been rolling this year with their 5-1 record overall and their only loss coming against Washington State. Oregon State has looked good in their games but they just beat Cal on the road 52-40 and their defense was terrible against California who hasn't had a great offense this season. They are back at home for this game but UCLA has a much better defense that is one of the best in the country and they aren't going to let Oregon State put up a ton of points here. UCLA has also been improving on offense and they are going to have some success passing the ball on this Oregon State defense. UCLA has the talent on defense to keep them in this game and even pull off the upset win. The best way to place a bet here is on UCLA to cover the spread in this game.

“That was the cool part about today that there were so many guys that contributed, specifically on that side. I think that was really the story, in terms of shutting them down. I think that it was a total team defense that shut them down.” - Chip Kelly after his team’s win against WSU in their last game.

“Hopefully we build some confidence knowing that we can win this way or we can play in a lower scoring game and find a way. You never know how each game is going to play out.” - Jonathan Smith after his team’s win against Cal in their last game.
