UCLA vs. Oregon CBB Prediction:
The Ducks are back. Dana Altman is still one of the best head coaches in the sport. His team is 9-0 straight up and 6-3 ATS this season. Since 2010, when Altman became Oregon’s head coach, the Ducks have had a lot of success against the number. Since 2010, Oregon is 119-101-4 ATS as a home favorite and 155-134-6 ATS in conference games.
If you narrow the scope, Oregon still has several trends going for them. Since 2015, the Ducks are 120-104-2 ATS after a win and 35-27-1 ATS when playing with the rest disadvantage.
UCLA is 7-1 straight up this season, but they have yet to play a true road game. The only neutral-site game the Bruins have played was against New Mexico in Henderson, NV on November 8th. UCLA lost that contest 72-64. I think the Bruins will have their hands full with a talented and well-coached Oregon team in Eugene on a sleepy Sunday night. I’m laying the points with the Ducks in this one.
