Oregon vs UCLA Prediction
Oregon and UCLA are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games, so not exactly two teams that are making bettors money. With that said, I’ll grab the points with Oregon on the road. While UCLA is going to get the benefit of the doubt because it’s at home, Oregon is the sharper defensive side and is 4-1 SU on the road. This is also a revenge spot after UCLA beat Oregon by two points back in December. UCLA and Oregon can fill it up offensively, but I trust the Ducks defense more and the consistent road success makes the points worth a strong consideration on Thursday night.
