In this Pepperdine vs UCLA Prediction, UCLA is coming as -27.5 home favorites. Both teams are coming off victories in their opening games of the season, as UCLA is coming off a 6-point home victory and are playing again at home, while Pepperdine is coming off an 8-point home win and are playing their first road game of the season. UCLA is the superior team in this matchup and were better both on the offensive and the defensive end last season, having the 22nd-best defense in the nation. I expect the Bruins to lock down this game and get away with a comfortable win. Take UCLA and lay the points at home.
