UCLA's Key Factors:

  • Currently on a 3-1 run in their last 4 games
  • Struggling offense averaging just 18.8 points per game
  • Ranks 122nd in EPA per rush (-0.11)
  • Defense allows 52.94% third-down conversion rate (133rd)
  • Have covered the spread in 6 of last 7 games as underdogs

Washington's Advantages:

  • QB Will Rogers: 2,343 yards, 13 TDs, 71.4% completion rate
  • Defense allows only 5.6 yards per pass (6th nationally)
  • 19-0 SU in last 19 home games
  • Top-40 rankings in key metrics: net yards per play, offensive/defensive success rate
  • Strong pass rush with 106 hurries this season

Prediction: Washington's superior offense and home-field advantage should prove decisive. Their well-rounded attack matches up favorably against UCLA's struggling defense (114th in EPA per pass). Expect Will Rogers to exploit the Bruins' secondary weaknesses.

Best Bet: Washington -3.5 (-112)
