The Bruins have struggled defensively this year, allowing 34.6 points and 459.7 yards per game. Offensively, UCLA is averaging 27.3 points and 405.6 yards per contest. Dorian Thompson-Robinson has thrown for 1,435 yards and 13 touchdowns to lead the offense, but he also has seven interceptions. Joshua Kelley has rushed for 571 yards and four scores while Demetric Felton has 34 receptions for 420 yards and three scores. Felton also has 298 rushing yards.

College Football Betting Trends
UCLA
UCLA is just 1-3-2 against the spread in their last six games on grass and 4-15-2 ATS in their last 21 games following a win.
Arizona State
The Sun Devils are 8-2 against the spread in their last 10 games following a loss, but just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games on grass.
Prediction:
Arizona State has won three of the last four against UCLA, but the Bruins have covered the spread in two straight against the Sun Devils. UCLA has been pretty puzzling, as they have managed to win at Stanford and Washington State, but then lose by 17 at home over Oregon State. ASU has slipped up twice this year, including the road loss at Utah. However, the Sun Devils still have manufactured wins in close games and I trust them more in tight situations. This game is likely to be close, as ASU plays to the level of its competition. However, their decision-making on both sides of the ball will lead them to the narrow victory and cover.
