The UCLA Bruins (0-0) and Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (1-0) meet Saturday at Clarence T.C. Ching Athletics Complex. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (CBS/Paramount+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the UCLA vs. Hawaii odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.
The Bruins play their 1st game in a new era, as UCLA joins the Big Ten Conference this season. While this isn’t a conference game, obviously, it’s a historic day for the program nonetheless.
It’s also a new era with former Bruins tailback DeShaun Foster taking over as the coach. He has just 9 starters returning, but QB Ethan Garbers is one of them, along with RB T.J. Harden.
The last time UCLA was in action it was facing a Mountain West team, too, as the Bruins topped Boise State 35-22 in the LA Bowl Dec. 16, 2023. UCLA cashed the Under in 10 of 12 games in the regular season in 2023.
