*8* play on UCLA.

The UCLA Bruins will be a big underdog on the road at Oregon Saturday, but I like their chances of keeping this one close. As good as the Ducks are at home (12-0), we've already seen the Bruins win some big games on the road. They won at Gonzaga, and came up just short in a 96-93 versus the PAC12 leading Huskies in Washington. I'll take the points.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Bruins are coming off an 82-73 win at Oregon State, shooting 51.8 percent in the victory. They out-rebounded Oregon State 41-35 in that game, and they should have an advantage on the boards here Eugene as well.

2. Home Cookin' - UCLA is 7-3 ATS in it's last 10 road games versus teams with a winning record. The Bruins haven't had any trouble scoring on the road, averaging over 80 points per game on 43.8 percent shooting.

3. X-Factor - The Bruins are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 versus conference rivals.

Selection: This is a play on the UCLA Bruins (8*)
