Colorado at UCLA

This is an easy line to buy based on the Buffs’ poor showing in their first Pac-12 campaign for as Colorado is just 2-9 on the season and 0-5 on the road. They have played a good chunk of their season missing their three best players on offense, but are getting healthy now and I expect them to be a lot more competitive, especially coming off a confidence-boosting upset win last week. At 5-5 UCLA needs one more win to become Bowl eligible and will likely get it here, but it won’t be as easy as it might look. The Bruins aren't exactly a top-flight team as all but one of their five wins has come by 10 points or less this season, while they have been beaten by 25+ in three of their five losses. The Bruins seem to always be disinterested vs. bad teams, and are now 15-35-1 ATS in their last 51 vs. a team with a losing record, owning just a 4-13 ATS mark in their last 17 in conference play. And, Rick Neuheisel is just 17-33 ATS in his career as a home favorite including 1-9 ATS when laying between 7 and 14 points. He's also just 8-20 ATS vs. losing teams in his career. Play on Colorado plus the points here.
