UCLA (1-2 SU, 1-2 ATS, 1-2 O/U)

  • Bruins are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games.
  • Bruins are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog.

UCLA got in the win column after two losses to start the season, beating Houston 31-13 to cover the college football line as a 3.5-point home underdog while the game’s final score played Under the 66-point O/U total.

Quarterback Kevin Prince completed 9 of 17 passes for 99 yards with one interception and one rushing score but it was sophomore running back Jonathan Franklin that really carried the desperate Bruins to victory as he rushed for 158 yards and three touchdowns on 26 carries.

Texas (3-0 SU, 1-2 ATS, 0-3 O/U)

  • Longhorns are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a home favorite.
  • Longhorns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite.

Texas moved to 3-0 SU on the season while getting its first college football line ATS win of the season in its 24-14 win over Texas Tech on Saturday.

The Longhorns got an uneven game from sophomore quarterback Garrett Gilbert as he tossed two touchdowns – but three interceptions – in their solid win over the Red Raiders.

Analysis: While I think this point spread is a bit on the high side, I like the Texas Longhorns to cover the college football line in this matchup mostly because UCLA sophomore quarterback Kevin Prince has been mostly atrocious in throwing just one TD pass and four interceptions through three games.

If the Bruins can lose to Stanford 35-0 at home, then the Longhorns should definitely be able to cover the college football line as 16-point favorites despite their unimpressive ATS wagering statistics.

If you want to cash in against the college football line in this contest, then play the Texas Longhorns!
