UCLA is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Tuesday games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. The under is 7-1 in UCLA’s last 8 road games. Stanford is 15-6-1 ATS in their last 22 home games against a team with a winning road record. The under is 4-1 in Stanford’s last 5 games. The home team is 18-7-1 ATS in these two teams last 26 head to head meetings.
UCLA is coming off of back-to-back losses and will be on the road in this game. Stanford has alternated wins and losses in their last few games and is in the middle of the conference standings. UCLA is the more talented team in this matchup and should win the game. The key to this game will be UCLA’s defense, as they played poorly in their last two games. I like UCLA here because I do not think the Stanford offense is good enough to press them.
