This is an 8* TOP PLAY on UCLA.

UCLA picked up a 72-70 win over Utah back on New Year's Eve and we expect it to find a way to get the job done here as well.

The Bruins haven't done well against the spread this year, but I expect that to change here with the end of the regular season in sight.

UCLA enters on top form, having won three straight. Utah is ninth in the Pac 12 at 9-10 overall and 6-9 in conference play.

The Utes are riding a three-game slide, most recently falling 67-64 to the Ducks.

While these team's do sport similar defensive numbers, the Bruins have the clear advantage offensively.

While this is a revenge game, note that the Utes did easily cover in their earlier loss to UCLA.

Not this time though. We expect UCLA to come in focussed and for its superior offense to push it over the top for both a solid straight up win, but also cover this time as well.

Lay the points!

Good luck, NP
