UCLA Football: Can Bruins Beat Generous Projected Spread Saturday Against SDSU?

Tomorrow, your 1-0 UCLA Bruins will square off against the 2-0 San Diego State Aztecs on the road in Snapdragon Stadium.

Per The Action Network, which compiles odds from various sportsbooks, UCLA is considered nearly a two-touchdown favorite, even in enemy terrain.

Let's unpack some of the most intriguing betting odds and lines ahead of the matchup.

The Game Spread

The line for the Bruins is currently set at 13.5 points. Depending on which UCLA quarterback gets more run at center, look for them to cover. They won their last matchup, against Coastal Carolina, just over that line at 27-13.

J. Michael Sturdivant's Total Receiving Yards

The superstar wide receiver transfer out of the University of California at Berkley, an All-Pac-12 Conference honorable mention last season, caught five receptions last weekend for a total of 136 receiving yards (averaging 27.2 per carry) and notched one touchdown in the winning effort. The Action Network's best odds for a Sturdivant over/under for tomorrow is set at 69.5 yards. With another matchup against inferior competition, look for him to be targeted, no matter the quarterback.

Carson Steele's Total Rushing Yards

The junior running back, another transfer, has emerged as an early Bruins favorite this season. The 6'1" vet had 76 rushing yards across 13 carries (5.8 yards per) and secured another touchdown. The best over/under line given for tomorrow is 74.5 yards. Take the under.

Dante Moore's Odds Of Recording 2+ Touchdowns

The 18-year-old true freshman quarterback scored two touchdowns across 143 totally passing yards on Saturday, despite nominally being junior Ethan Garbers' backup. It now seems like less a matter of if he'll replace Garbers as a starter, and more a matter of when. Moore has been given +550 odds to notch more than two touchdowns or again. Bet against it. He may be capable of that behavior later this season, but it's early yet.
