We’re in for what should be an entertaining matchup on the west coast when Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes head to Los Angeles for a date with the UCLA Bruins. The Buffs are looking to bounce back after a brutal home loss to Stanford two weeks ago, while UCLA is looking to stay in contention for a Pac-12 title. This is a spot where the underdog could be barking, but I’m certainly not leaning in that direction for this contest.''
Here is my Oregon vs Utah Same Game Parlay for Saturday’s matchup, which will be televised starting at 3:30 pm ET on FOX. Also, be sure to check out our full Colorado vs UCLA predictions.
One of the benefits of Same Game Parlays, of course, is that you can juice the odds up by not correlating the plays. That is some of the plan here, as a UCLA cover can correlate with the under, but doesn’t correlate with Shedeur Sanders going over his passing yards prop.'
UCLA Bruins -15 over Colorado Buffalos (-110)
It is hard to prove that one week changes an entire season, but Colorado’s humiliating loss to Stanford two weeks ago didn't feel like a one-off as much as a culmination of what critics have been saying about this Buffaloes team all year. However, they do have the chance to prove the critics wrong this week against a strong UCLA team, but I don’t see that happening. UCLA has the 10th best scoring defense, and the 12th best defense by yards per game. This doesn’t bode well for a Colorado team that has only played one top 25 defense this year, when the Buffaloes played Oregon and lost by a resounding 42-6 score. UCLA does not have the offense that Oregon does but they still average 464 yards and over 31 points per game. That should be more than enough firepower to cover this number, especially with a defense that is rolling at the moment. Take the Bruins to cover the spread at home.
