Early betting trends show that 66% of spread bets are in favor of the UCLA Bruins, while the Penn State Nittany Lions have garnered 34% of the bets. The total of 46.5 has seen 18% of bets on the under and 82% on the over. Here, we break down Saturday's UCLA vs Penn State game in the Big Ten.
UCLA Off to Nightmarish Start In Big Ten
UCLA's first season in the Big Ten has not been a good one, as they enter this weekend's action with an overall record of 1-3 and an 0-2 record in the Big Ten. The Bruins are coming off of a 21-point loss to the Oregon Ducks, their third straight loss by double-digits. UCLA's only win of the season came in their season opener against a bad Hawaii team out of the Mountain West Conference. This week, relief is unlikely to come for the Bruins, who have yet to score more than 17 points in a game this year.
Can Penn State Stay Undefeated?
The Penn State Nittany Lions are 4-0 entering this UCLA vs Penn State matchup. Penn State is ranked seventh in the country, with their last win coming in a 21-7 defensive struggle against Illinois. So far this season, the defense of Penn State has been excellent, giving up 11.5 points per game. That will be expected to continue against a UCLA team that just has not been able to get things going on the offensive side of the ball.
UCLA vs Penn State Betting Pick
It looks like Penn State should be able to win convincingly in this week's UCLA vs Penn State contest. But the point spread is a little too big for our liking in this game. Instead, we will take the under in this contest, as the Nittany Lions should be able to dominate UCLA with their defense, while James Franklin's team will be able to play conservatively offensively and coast for most of this matchup.
