Our Pick

Our model makes a case for backing the home dog here. It calls for a game right around the posted number and we always love a good home dog that has the potential to win a game outright.

But one of the first things any handicapper should look for when backing a dog is the running game on both sides of the ball. An underdog that runs the ball and stops the run better than their opponent is always worth a strong look.

That’s not the case here. So far this year, Stanford can’t do either. They rank towards the bottom of the pack on both sides of the ball against the run.

UCLA on the other hand, does both well, ranking towards the top on both sides of the ball. College football in most cases is still very elementary and the ability to run the ball and stop the run better than your opponent wins many games.

UCLA -4.5
