UCLA vs. Arizona Free Pick
(The Spread) – The Pac-12 will be on display Thursday night when Arizona hosts UCLA at 9:00PM ET on ESPN.
UCLA: The Bruins enter tonight’s game with a 3-3 record after beating Washington 28-25 two weeks ago. UCLA is now 1-5 against the spread, with its only cover coming in a 27-19 win at Oregon State on September 24. Jonathan Franklin leads the team with 509 yards rushing while Derrick Coleman has a team-high six touchdowns.
ARIZONA: After the Wildcats dropped five of their first six games, Mike Stoops was relieved of his duties on October 10. Defensive coordinator Tim Kish takes over the reigns of an Arizona team that only has one victory on the year, which came in its opener against non-FBS Northern Arizona. Nick Foles has thrown for 2,250 yards on the year while Keola Antolin leads the team with four touchdowns.

ODDS: Despite their 1-5 record, oddsmakers have installed the Wildcats as 4.5-point favorites for tonight’s game. In fact, the spread has actually gone up at the Las Vegas Hilton after opening at 3 points. The over/under total is currently listed at 62 at most books.
FREE PICK: Take the Wildcats. According to latest college football trends, the favorite is 4-0 against the spread in the last four meetings between these two teams while the home squad is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings. The Bruins are 0-4 ATS in their last four games against the Wildcats and 0-4 ATS in their last four road games versus Arizona. Maybe replacing Stoops will spark this Arizona team to fight for Kish and Foles will have a big night against a UCLA defense that is allowing over 30 points a game.
