According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, Michigan is the slight favorite in this contest, as the Wolverines are getting odds of -4.5 points against UCLA. The over/under total for the game is listed at 147 points. Today’s game takes place from Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan and will air live on CBS.

UCLA is coming off a 106-73 win over Detroit last weekend to improve to 7-1 on the season. The Bruins are just 3-4 against the spread on the season but have covered in three of their last four games. UCLA is posting 86.8 points per game on offense while allowing 75.1 per contest defensively.

Bet on UCLA vs. Michigan

UCLA has won five of its last seven meetings with Michigan, with the Bruins going 4-2 against the spread in the last six encounters. UCLA has some struggles lately, but the Bruins have covered the spread in five straight meetings with Big Ten opponents. Michigan is just 1-3-2 ATS in their last six against Pac-12 opponents. I expect UCLA to be a little too much for Michigan, which still is figuring out its rotation. The public betting is slightly with Michigan, but I like the Bruins on the road.
