Arizona is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games on grass and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 November games. The over is 5-1-1 in Arizona’s last 7 road games. UCLA is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 November games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games. The over is 6-1 in UCLA’s last 7 games. The favorite is 11-3-1 ATS in these two teams last 15 head to head meetings.
UCLA comes into this game fighting for a spot in the PAC-12 Title game and cannot afford to drop this game. The Bruins should be able to win this game easily, but their defense has been suspect at times this season. I think this is going to be a high scoring game, but this total is way too high. I am taking the under.
