Premium Pick

Colorado is a good team in bounce-back mode after getting smashed by seventh ranked Washington, 37-10, for its first defeat. RB Phillip Lindsay (446 yards) is averaging 5.0 yards per carry and has four TDs, while the passing attack has three targets with over 229 yards receiving. Colorado is on an 8-3 ATS run in conference play, while covering six of its last seven road contests. Their defense is strong, giving up only 16 points and 341.8 yards per game. By contrast, UCLA has disappointed, a .500 team with no defense. Stanford crushed UCLA 58-34 on Saturday. UCLA ranks last in the nation in run defense among 129 Football Bowl Subdivision teams (307.5 yards rushing allowed per game) after getting run over for 405 yards on the ground by the Cardinal. On offense there is no balance with the Bruins tied at #103 in the nation with 120 yards rushing per game. UCLA is on a 3-7 ATS run at home, plus 3-7 ATS against winning teams. The Bruins are also 4-13 ATS on natural grass and the dog has covered four straight in this series. Colorado rolled 20-10 last season and this is a great spot for the dog. Play Colorado.
