Washington vs UCLA College Football Betting Preview
Washington Huskies Betting Preview: Solid All Around
Despite that ugly loss in the middle of a monsoon against Wisconsin, Washington has shown it's a very good program.
Quarterback Demond Williams has been incredible with a fantastic touchdown-to-interception ratio and has completed passes at a 72% clip, but it doesn’t hurt to have one of the best wide receivers in the country in Denzel Boston at your disposal.
The Huskies offense has been so exceptional, ranking fourth in Offensive Success Rate and third in standard down Success Rate.
I’ve been a fan of Jonah Coleman since his Arizona days, and he’s just continuing his exceptional trend in his senior season, tying for the Big Ten lead in rushing touchdowns with Iowa's Mark Gronowski and helping the Huskies achieve the 17th-best Rushing Success Rate in the country.
Coleman is also the team’s third-leading receiver, hauling in 335 yards on 11.6 yards per catch. In all, it adds up to 980 total scrimmage yards.
On the defensive end, there’s certainly a lot to like with defensive backs Ephesians Prysock and Alex McLaughlin, along with pass rushers Jacob Lane and Zach Durfee.
UCLA Bruins Betting Preview: Is The Season Over Yet?
Who remembers at the beginning when some lousy analyst said that UCLA was going to exceed 5.5 wins this season?
That was funny (it was me).
Now, the Bruins are 3-7 with their coach fired. It looked promising to get to that total after they won three in a row, but then they got thrown back into the gauntlet with Indiana and Ohio State.
Nico Iamaleava has done the best he could do. Last season with Tennessee, he was sacked 28 times all season. Now, he has been sacked 22 times in his nine games played.
We won’t know exactly where he stands closer to kickoff, as Iamaleava was dealing with a concussion that forced him to miss the Ohio State game.
Either way, breakout receiver Kwazi Gilmer has looked pretty solid. He may not have been a game-breaker like I thought he was going to be, but I’m going to take my victory lap regardless. I need to burn the calories after my preseason take.
This defense is awful, though.
The Bruins are 130th in Havoc generated and a whopping 135th in Success Rate allowed. What’s going to destroy them in this battle is their inability to stop either the pass or run.
The Bruins rank 125th or worse in Passing Success Rate allowed, passing down Success Rate allowed and Rushing Success Rate allowed.
Washington vs UCLA Pick, Betting Analysis
The spread for this game is currently listed at 10.5, and we’re in a whole lot of luck because our projections have this game favoring Washington by 13.9 points.
It’s not so much out of the question, all things considered. This game may be played in Pasadena — big whoop. The vibes surrounding UCLA football couldn’t be worse right now.
UCLA fired its coach after the third game of the season, and in turn, lost a lot of high-end recruits that DeShaun Foster was planning to bring in.
Not only that, the discrepancy between Washington’s offense and UCLA’s abhorrent defense is extremely hard to ignore.
Give me the Huskies to cover.
Pick: Washington -10.5
