Arizona vs UCLA Betting Pick
This game will be played at the Rose Bowl at 10:30 PM ET on Saturday, November 12, 2022.
Why Bet on UCLA:
✅ Arizona’s defense has really struggled over the last four games. They have allowed 47 points per game over the last four games they have played, and UCLA will put up another big number on them here.
✅ UCLA is averaging over 40 points per game and over 500 yards per game on offense. While Jayden de Laura has been impressive for Arizona, he will not be able to keep up with the offense of the Bruins here.
✅ The Bruins will have a motivational edge at home in this contest. They are still playing for a place in the College Football Playoff at 8-1 on the season far. They not only cannot afford to lose, but they need to accumulate some style points in order to move up the rankings.

Arizona Wildcats
The Arizona Wildcats have lost four straight games after a 3-2 start to the season. That has put them at 3-6, and has required the Wildcats to go 3-0 to end the season to get to six wins and become bowl eligible. To beat UCLA and give themselves a chance at a bowl game, the Wildcats need to be better on defense than they have been.
Arizona has allowed 473 yards per game on defense, and has allowed 47 points per game over the last four games they have played. Against a prolific UCLA offense, Arizona has to be better on that side of the ball to have a chance to cover here.

UCLA Bruins
The UCLA Bruins come into this Arizona vs UCLA matchup with an 8-1 record and two straight wins after their lone loss of the season to Oregon. The Bruins have been incredible offensively this season, averaging 40.8 points per game. Against a struggling Arizona defense, the Bruins have the chance to make a statement heading into the final couple of weeks of the season.
To avoid this game getting too close for comfort, the Bruins need to contain Jayden de Laura. De Laura has 22 touchdown passes this season and is great at extending plays with his legs as well. If UCLA can’t hold him in check, the Bruins could see this game stay close throughout.
