UCLA is a tough team to figure out. So far they have dissapointed and underperformed, and that usually points to leadership issues or hidden team problems. Last week they went to Washington State and got hammered. They were outgained by nearly 300 yards by a bad 2-5 team. The week before they beat California at home convincingly. The week before that they lost 20-6 to a hapless Notre Dame team that can't score or defend. They also got whipped at Utah by 38 on the road. Arizona has won or been competitive in every game they have played at home. Willie Tuitama can really air it out, as he has thrown for 2,800 yards, 21 TDs and just 9 INTs. UCLA looks like the type of team that just wants to show up for the big games, and has no interest. If they get down, they fold. UCLA is just 3-11 ATS in their last 14 as a road favorite in the Pac 10. They have big games vs. Arizona State, Oregon and USC on deck so we dont' expect UCLA to be focused here. Look for an Arizona team that has been very sharp at home to grab control early and deflate the easily deflatable Bruins.
