Premium Pick

UCLA is unbeaten under Chip Kelly, off an 8-4 campaign, and plays its Pac-12 opener. The offense is in great hands with fifth-year QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson (6 TDs, 1 INTs) and bruising RB Zach Charbonnet. They come off a 32-31 win over South Alabama and Kelly is 18-7 ATS on the road after playing a contest where 60+ total points were scored. Colorado is off of a disappointing season and 22 players transferred out. They look like they're rebuilding everywhere losing 38-13 to TCU, 41-10 to Air Force, and 49-7 to Minnesota. The defense can't stop anyone, while the offense is averaging 3.8 yards per rush and rotating sophomores QBs J.T. Shrout and Brendon Lewis. Shrout is completing 40% of his passes as the offense is averaging 10 points. Colorado is 14-28 ATS at home against teams averaging 4.75 yards per rush. And college football underdogs of 10.5 to 22 points that are getting outrushed by 1.75+ yards per carry and have been outrushed by 100+ yards in three consecutive games are 40-81 ATS. Make it a Max Play on UCLA.
