Oregon vs. UCLA CBB Prediction:
Both of these teams have been weak against the spread of late. The Bruins have dropped seven out of their last 10 games against the number, while the Ducks have also failed to cover in seven out of their last 10 games. The over, meanwhile, is 6-4 in Oregon’s last 10 contests (including cashing in three out of the Ducks’ last four games) and is 6-4 in the Bruins’ last 10 games.
