UCLA Looks For Second Straight Big Ten Win

The UCLA Bruins broke through and got their first conference win in the Big Ten last time out. They beat the Rutgers Scarlet Knights 35-32 two weeks ago and will look to build on that performance with a win coming off of an idle week last week. UCLA's offense finally woke up against Rutgers, with quarterback Ethan Garbers throwing for 383 yards and four touchdowns through the air. The passing game of the Bruins will need to be on point once again if UCLA is going to have a shot at winning a second straight conference game.

Can Nebraska Build On Close Call With Ohio State?

Nebraska has lost two games in a row coming into this UCLA vs Nebraska contest. The Cornhuskers have dropped games to an undefeated Indiana team and an elite Ohio State team during that span, dropping Nebraska to 5-3 overall and 2-3 in the Big Ten. But Nebraska nearly beat Ohio State at home last week and will look to build on that performance here, even if there are no moral victories in football. The Cornhuskers held Ohio State under 300 yards of total offense last week and a similar showing from their defense this week could lead to a win at home.

UCLA vs Nebraska Best Bet

We will bank on the home team to snap its two-game losing streak in Saturday's UCLA vs Nebraska matchup in college football. The Cornhuskers defense has been impressive of late, even if they haven't been able to break through with wins in their last two games. Look for them to shut down the Bruins and to snap their losing streak in front of their home crowd, while covering the spread as a touchdown favorite.
