UCLA is having a nice run right now and the Bruins should have revenge on its mind for a sizable road loss about a month ago. USC doesn’t have the same offense on the road that it does on home, so the Bruins should be able to handle winning this game and covering the spread in a track meet, which is what they do at home.
