Editor’s Note - Odds are subject to change.
The line has held steady since opening with Oregon as a 6.5-point home favorite at SI Sportsbook against UCLA.
UCLA is 6-0 after upsetting Washington and Utah in back-to-back weeks and has won nine consecutive games under Chip Kelly dating back to last season.
Dual-threat quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson has been sensational, accounting for 19 total touchdowns both in the air and on the ground while only tossing two interceptions. In the team’s two biggest wins over the Huskies and Utes, the fifth-year senior signal-caller completed 75.5% of his passes for 614 yards and seven passing touchdowns, while adding two more scores with his legs.
Former Auburn signal-caller Bo Nix has thrived in first season in Eugene. Nix has posted a solid 12:3 touchdown-to-interception ratio, while also leading the team with eight rushing touchdowns.
As great as both quarterbacks are, both clubs also possess potent rushing attacks. Oregon sits atop the Pac-12 by averaging 241.7 yards a game thanks to the talents of tailbacks of Bucky Irving and Noah Whittington. UCLA ranks second with 211.5 rushing yards per game.
Oregon is 9-1 straight-up (SU) and 6-4 against the spread (ATS) over the last 10 meetings with UCLA. Respected money in Vegas believes that oddsmakers are simply spotting the Bruins too many points.
BET: UCLA +7 (-120) *Buy Hook
