Utah vs UCLA Prediction & Pick

The Bruins rolled up 184 yards rushing and 315 passing last week while shutting down the Huskies running game. The UCLA offense is scoring 41 points per game and averaging 512 yards per game this season. Utah has scored 34 points per game against four FBS opponents, and the Utes have the league's No. 1 defense allowing 278 yards per game through five contests. But UCLA's defense has played better than expected allowing 318 yards per game, and both defenses allow less than 5.0 yards per play to lead the Pac 12. The Utes did rush for 290 yards against UCLA's defense last season in a 44-24 beatdown of the Bruins.

Both teams and quarterbacks also lead the Pac 12 in passing efficiency. Bruins QB Darian Thompson-Robinson has passed for more than 1,200 yards with an 11:1 TD-to-INT ratio and 74% completions. Utes QB Cameron Rising has passed for more than 1,150 yards with 13:2 TD-INT ratio and 68% completions. He had 4 total TD's in last week's win over Oregon State, and both duel-threat quarterbacks have rushed for more than 185 yards this season as well.

Final Score Prediction: Utah: 34 | UCLA: 24

Utah vs UCLA Best Bet

Despite the Bruins improved and stronger defense, along with a positive profile on offense of rushing for 211 yards per game and passing for 300 YPG against FBS opponents this season, we still believe in Utah as the stronger and better team who has also played the tougher schedule this season.

The recent results and UCLA's scoring production have also pushed this total higher, but stronger defensive play should show in this contest and could reduce scoring more than expected. The Utes have looked nearly unstoppable the last four games after their opening week slipup at Florida. Utah has also won and covered 5-straight in this series, and the 2022 Utah team is even stronger.

Bet: Utah -3.5 (-110)
